Ceramic Charcoal BBQ Kamado Griller - Portable Tabletop The Cadet Series Smoker

I don't need one of the giant Kamado style grills. The most I ever need to cook for is four people and this compact grill easily satisfies my needs. Using lump charcoal and little fire starters achieves a high temperature to allow a great sear on beef and chicken. Temperature control using the lower vent slide is pretty easy. The built-in temp gage allows accurate temp monitoring. The ceramic is thick and sturdy and holds heat so well. Charcoal burns efficiently and cooking does not require the use of a lot of charcoal. Assembly was straight forward and didn't take very long at all. It is heavy. I was able to lift it without assistance but it is probably advisable to get help to place it on an elevated surface. Overall I'm very happy with is purchase.

It’s a bit of a learning curve if you are used to a steel kettle but once I figured it out it worked great! I bought it mainly to smoke with and I was not disappointed! Just make sure you use chunk charcoal, not briquettes, and start your fire in the fire box, not a chimney. It was simple to assemble but heavy enough I had to have my guy carry it outside for me! It’s a nice size for cooking for a couple people, and it’s very well-built. I smoked a pork keg on it and it came out with a nice bark and a lot of smoke. Very pleased!!

I am a former big green egg owner. I can tell you without a doubt this product is as good as the egg and 1/3 the price. Quick shipping, easy to assemble, easy to light, uses little charcoal, easy to light, holds temp and cooks perfect for two people. Only issue is lid does not close tight but took care of that with bungee cord! Highly recommend this product!

Perfect mini egg grill for our condo and for small Meals. Only challenge is that coals temper down and require to lift food and grate to refuel. Having said that if the timing is on point I can grill/smoke a whole chicken with one load of coals. In effect a single item at a time. Price is very good for the quality and it looks great.

The grill seems well made but the grate is a sloppy fit almost 1 inch under sized. It seems cheap compared to the the rest of the grill. For the money I expected more.

An excellent small kamado cooker/smoker. Well constructed, aesthetically pleasing and most importantly heats up well and holds temp well considering its size. Simple and quick assembly with included instructions. Initial burn in with lump charcoal was quick and allowed for cooking shortly thereafter. Made a dry aged bone in NY Strip and the results were perfect, including a great sear/crust as the cooking grate is not very high above the coals. This will be a problem for low/slow cooks but I believe there is a small heat deflecting grate available from another company that will fit the 13” opening. As a long time owner and frequent user of a large BGE, I can attest to the quality of the London Sunshine mini grill. If you’re in need of a small cooker for 1-2 people, this is nearly perfect at the price. Enjoy!

I love this little charcoal oven. It looks like a toy, but it’s surprisingly powerful. Even though it has some weight, it’s easy to move wherever you need it. The quality feels very solid and well made. I used it for the first time to cook a small pork roast, and it came out spectacular. It was my first time using a charcoal oven, so there’s definitely a learning curve, but overall it’s a great addition to my kitchen equipment when I want meat with a nice smoky flavor

I thought I was purchasing the Kamado Joe JR name brand by the same name, but this is made by London Sunshine. The construction is similar but the dimensions are slightly smaller than the original Joe JR. This means many of the Kamado Joe JR accessories are too large for this model. While it works as expected in grill mode I struggled to make anything indirect due to the lack of accessories. I wound up giving this knockoff version away & purchasing the name brand instead. Best advise here - buyer beware....

Funciona de maravilla para una pareja o maximo 4 personas, ya que la parrilla es pequeña y no le cabe mucho. Le caben 3 hamburguesas de buen tamaño, o 2 Rib Eyes, o 1 Picaña, o 1 Pollo entero. Si vas a hacer una comida/cena para mas de 4 personas esta no es tu opción.

I have a large Big Green Egg and love cooking on it. It is great for larger cooks when the famly or frriends are around. I couldnt justify over 900 dollars for a mini green egg so ordered this. I am shocked at the quality. Easy to start and control temperature. Ideal for 2 -3 people. Very impressed and highly recommend. Very well built. Comes well packaged. Easy to assemble

Great little bbq. Love the charcoal taste. Works perfectly. Be sure to let it come up to heat to avoid burning and buy good quality charcoal for it. Good for 1 or 2 People. Cooks 3 burgers, 4 sausage or a couple of steaks.

Great small smoker. Used it for camping for 2 people. This is a very small smoker so read the product description before buying....Still can do 3 frozen burgers or 3 good size pork chops at once. Uses very little charcoal. Got it to 500 degrees in short order to sear/cook steaks. It got lots of stares/positive comments from neighbors. Feels very solid at just under 50lbs Easy to carry around. Gasket is very high quality. Easy to control top and bottom air. Love this small smoker.....

It was missing a washer on the handle
