For a devoted tailgater, spending the day in a parking lot outside the stadium is a given. Kickoff is 8 at night? You’ll be there before noon. Put it this way, an experienced tailgater will be there long enough to smoke some ribs, and with the CB500X Portable Charcoal Grill, you could. The stylish little charcoal grill is decked out with an easy access firebox so you can have those ribs ready in time for your last shotgun. Of course not everyone will have enough time to smoke some baby backs before the game, but nobody is passing up a charcoal grilled burger (unless you’ve been drinking, the lamppost above you is flickering and you can’t see whether the burgers are severely undercooked—Sarah we’re sorry). The 240 sq. inch cast iron grates and the two adjustable damper controls provide you with enough room and control to serve up a healthy (or most likely far from healthy) serving.
