I had the chance to put NOMAD Grills to the test with a few different cooks and tests and you need to see the results.
Of course the first thing on the grill was the South Texas carne asada spread, consisting of MIANONNA Italian sausage, fajitas and chicken halves.
Then we ran another test with another one of our favorite meals - ribeyes, new york strips, grilled potato skewers and corn on the cob.
To be honest, I was super impressed with this grill. Check out my full thoughts in this video. Boom!

Arnie I love you man but $650 is way too much, I'll suffer some inconvenience to transport my $80 grill if I need it that bad. It's in the skill not the grill.

I thought to myself this is really cool “searches on google” $650 😮 Might as well buy a full size grill with all the best features. Portability seems to be the only highlight here a $20 grill can do the same.

If you were educated you would know $650 for a “Charcoal Grill” is Nonsense. And nobody bothers to think about the cleaning process. If you’re out in the woods you can’t just dump Hot Coals out on the grass or in the bushes. It would be a crime.

Had mine for awhile. Love it! Built like a tank and is going to last forever. Bigger charcoal is best if you don’t have their charcoal. I added a small grate for regular charcoal to maintain better airflow. Really worth the money especially if have gone through cheap portable grills.

Totally agree @Jessegarcia, great minds think alike, I was thinking the same about the grate for the charcoal.
@jessegarcia6909
@jessegarcia6909 Жыл бұрын
I hate the grills you find at parks mainly because they are not set up for airflow under the coals, hence why I always would bring my own portable. Unless you are using large charcoal the Nomad had the same flaw if you use smaller normal size charcoal. Once it burns down, it fills the area inbetween those fins and you lose that airflow. The added grate helps that. I just took one from an old grill I had. Their Charcoal is awesome, but it does take a lot of heat to get them going (their fire starters really help) but once they are going they will burn for a very long time. Problem for me in regards to Nomad charcoal and fire starters is that I live in Hawaii and shipping is insane. I also got the second grate, but I’ve only used it once and even when I did, I really didn’t need to for cooking burgers and brats at the beach. Unless you are cooking for a large group, you don’t really need it. When I first saw it, I was blown away by the price and put it out of my mind. Without ever mentioning it, my wife surprised me on my Birthday when they first came out since she saw a local Chef use one. It has become my main charcoal grill cause it’s small and I don’t have to start a large fire to get a meal done. Easily packs up for the beach. When you are done, close vents, lock it up and that fire is dead. This grill is the real deal. I really do feel it is the last portable grill you will purchase. I have easily spent over 650.00 in cheap portable grills over my lifetime.

Buying this is Dumb. I’m sorry but $650 is Insane for something I can do on a Webber Grill. And No It Is NOT THE PERFECT Grill. It is charcoal and everyone knows you can’t use a charcoal grill just anywhere. Some Campsites and Public parks don’t allow Charcoal Grills. And Perfect For Tail gating… NO.!! Because then where are you gonna dump the Hot Coals??? Not in a trash can cause you’ll start a fire. Not on the side of the road cause you’ll burn a forest. Not in the back of your truck and I don’t need to explain why..

​@@JoeTaco83 You obviouslly dump the coals in a meat-prep tray you were gonna throw away anyway, or into a damp/wet ziplock after they've cooled down, like plenty of people are already doing or are required by local parks to do. It's really, REALLY, not hard. And being able to grill right on the bed or tailgate as necessary because of the heat dissipation is massively beneficial. Also, watch the vid, he literally said go dig a small hole and dump the coals in there if you're out and about without carrying access. Bruh

PK has several models, I have the original one, solid solid great cooker. Only think i hate about it is the bottom vent holes drop lots of ash and lit coals, not good on wooden decks etc. so I keep a large roasting pan under mine when i use it. Not quiet as portable as the Nomad but now PK makes new and improved models and a table top model, PK is a great brand imo.
