Charcoal grills and smokers for backyard cooking
Valuhub Canada's charcoal grill collection brings together trolley grills, smokers and folding models for outdoor cooking. Each one burns charcoal for a smoky flavour, from weeknight burgers to slow-cooked ribs. The range also includes campfire grates and a rotisserie roaster.
Home cooks use these grills on decks, patios and campsites. They suit first-time buyers and keen cooks who want a smoker. For gas and other styles, browse the BBQs and Grills collection.
Charcoal BBQs at a glance
Types of charcoal grills in this collection
The collection covers five main styles, listed from the most common to the least common.
Trolley grills on wheels
Trolley grills sit on a frame with wheels, so you can move them around the yard or deck. Features across the range include shelves, a thermometer, an ash catcher and an adjustable charcoal pan. Sizes include 20 in (51 cm) and 30 in (76 cm) models. They suit family cookouts.
Barrel and vertical smokers
Smokers hold heat for low and slow cooking. This range includes a barrel smoker with a 420 sq in (2,710 cm²) cooking area. It also has two 3-in-1 vertical smokers. One grill adds an offset smoker design. Each BBQ smoker has its own vents and shelves. A built-in thermometer and an adjustable vent help with heat control. A tabletop charcoal smoker suits smaller spaces.
Folding and tabletop grills
Folding grills pack down for trips to the campsite or park. One foldable grill has a warming rack. One tabletop grill measures 17.3 x 9.8 x 14 in (44 x 25 x 36 cm). Each portable charcoal grill suits a small group. Check local fire rules at parks and campsites. For gear, see our camping supplies.
Campfire grills
Campfire grills hold a cooking grate over an open fire. One swivel grill turns 360° and uses chrome-plated steel. One folding grill measures 22 x 12 in (56 x 30 cm). It has folding legs and a carbon steel grate. Both pair well with a fire pit.
Rotisserie roaster
The rotisserie grill is a stainless steel split roaster for chicken and turkey. It has a three-level grill grate and storage shelves. It suits cooks who roast whole birds over charcoal.
Check each product page for exact sizes and what is included.
How do you choose a charcoal grill?
Match the cooking area to your group
Cooking area decides how many people you can feed at once. A common guide is about 60 sq in (390 cm²) of grate per person. A 16 in (41 cm) round smoker suits a small group. A 30 in (76 cm) trolley grill or a 420 sq in (2,710 cm²) barrel smoker suits larger groups.
Look for heat control
Charcoal needs airflow. An adjustable vent, an adjustable charcoal pan or rack and a built-in thermometer help you hold a steady temperature. Close the vent to slow the fire, and open it for a hotter sear.
Check the ash catcher
An ash catcher keeps ash in one place and speeds up cleaning. Let ash cool fully before you empty it. Use a metal container, and never put hot ash in a bin.
Think about wheels and shelves
Wheels move a heavy grill across a deck. A side shelf or storage shelf holds tools, plates and spices. Folding shelves and folding legs make the grill easier to store over winter.
Choose a material that lasts outdoors
Most grills here use steel, including galvanised steel, stainless steel and carbon steel. Galvanised and stainless steel resist rust better than bare steel. Wipe the grill grate after each cook, and store the grill dry.
Where do charcoal BBQs work best?
Decks, patios and backyards suit trolley grills and smokers best. Place the grill on a flat, non-flammable surface and keep it well away from walls, fences and overhangs. Wheels make it easy to roll the grill out for a cookout and back to storage.
Campsites and picnics suit folding grills and campfire grates. Pack down the legs, carry the grill by its handle, and let the coals cool fully before you leave. Always check local fire rules first.
Use charcoal outdoors only. Charcoal gives off carbon monoxide, so never use a grill in a garage, tent or enclosed porch. If you prefer faster heat, compare gas models in propane gas grills.
How do you use and care for a charcoal barbecue?
Light the charcoal in a chimney starter, then wait until the coals turn grey before cooking. Keep the lid and vents set to hold your target heat. Let everything cool, empty the ash catcher into a metal container, and wipe the grate. Cover the barbecue or store it dry.

Charcoal BBQ FAQs
What size charcoal grill do I need?
Choose by cooking area. A 16 in (41 cm) round grill suits a small group. A 30 in (76 cm) trolley grill suits larger cookouts. A 420 sq in (2,710 cm²) smoker handles big cuts of meat. Check the listed grate size on each product page.
Is a charcoal BBQ better than a gas grill?
Charcoal gives a smoky flavour and can run very hot. Gas heats faster and is easier to switch off. Pick charcoal if you enjoy tending a fire. Pick gas if you want quick, simple weeknight cooking. Many cooks own both for different jobs.
How do I control heat on a charcoal BBQ?
Use the vents and the charcoal pan. Open the vents for more air and a hotter fire, and close them to cool the grill. Lower the adjustable charcoal pan or rack for gentler heat. A built-in thermometer shows when the temperature changes.
Can I use a portable charcoal grill at a campsite?
Yes, if the campsite allows open fires. Set the grill on stable, level ground away from tents and dry grass. Let the coals burn down, and make sure they are fully cool before you pack up. Check local fire rules first.
What is the difference between a grill and a smoker?
A grill cooks food fast over direct heat. A smoker holds a lower temperature for hours, so tough cuts turn tender. A charcoal smoker uses a closed chamber and steady airflow. Some models in this range combine a grill and a smoker.
How do I clean a charcoal smoker?
Let it cool fully first. Empty the ash catcher into a metal container. Scrape the grill grate with a brush, and wipe grease from the walls. Dry the smoker before you cover it, because trapped moisture can cause rust. Repeat this after every few cooks.
