Grills House focuses on practical outdoor cooking without unnecessary frills. The CD1824EH-SC 24-Inch Charcoal Grill delivers 470 square inches of total cooking space, split between 369 square inches of porcelain-enameled steel wire grates and a 101 square inch stainless steel warming rack. That’s enough room for 16 burgers at once, or a full chicken and vegetables without overcrowding.

The built-in thermometer removes guesswork, letting you monitor internal temperature without lifting the lid. The side tables fold down when not in use, which saves space on a small patio or deck. The large bottom shelf holds a stack of plates or a bag of charcoal within easy reach. Assembly is straightforward, though you’ll want a second set of hands for the main body. The grill moves on wheels, but they are basic casters, not heavy-duty ones, so rolling over grass takes some effort.

For the price, the cooking area and foldable design make this a solid choice for weekend cookouts. The charcoal fuel gives you that smoky flavor gas grills can’t replicate. Just plan for a longer setup time while the coals heat up. If you want a no-nonsense grill that stores compactly and handles a crowd, this one works.
