The Bottom Line
The Char-Griller Outlaw gives you over 1,000 square inches of cooking space in a charcoal grill that cooks hot and fast or low and slow (get the add-on offset firebox for serious barbecue). This is a traditional style barrel grill that gives you the best of both worlds. Heavy steel construction and durable grates will keep this grill running for many years and look like a serious grill while doing it. At around $150USD you won't break the bank with this unit.

Guide Review - Char-Griller Outlaw Charcoal Grill/Smoker
The Char-Griller Outlaw is a great barrel style charcoal grill for a good price (typically around $150USD). The construction is good and with the adjustable coal grate you can do a wide range of grilling on this unit. The large cooking area (1000 square inches) will give you lots of space to work with.
This unit doesn't have the kind of airflow control that will let you shut down and extinguish the coals like some units (like the Weber Kettle).
Add the optional firebox and you can turn this unit into a good smoker a lot of great features including a pull out ash tray for easy clean up.
This unit (and similar Char-Griller products) are found in a variety of stores. If you want a good grill but don't want to spend a lot track one of these units down.
