4.0 out of 5 stars
Practical and attractive if still a little high priced,

This review is from: Bodum Fyrkat 13.4-Inch Portable Charcoal Grill, Orange (Lawn & Patio)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
If you're looking for a cheap inexpensive small portable grill there are better choices. Weber makes several models cheaper than this. All in basic black. If looks matter, however, if you want your guests to comment about how nice your grill is, or you just like bright colors, the Bodum Fyrkat is about as about as cute as you're going to get.I don't mean to dismiss appearance - this is a nice looking grill. But it is more expensive and I honestly couldn't see why other than its unusual appearance. The Fyrcat is slightly smaller and most definitely lighter than Weber grills in the same range. Lighter is probably better when looking at portability. The lid latches are tight and secure and allow you to carry the grill with charcoal ready to go inside. The negative comments about the heat vents near the handle seem a bit over reactionary. Your hand is not directly exposed to the air escaping as the lower arm of the handle is directly above the vent. It's a minimal risk given that users should have protective mitts on hand nearby in the first place. The design also has a plus side as you turn the handle to close and open the vents. Not a major selling point, but it is easier on this grill than on the Weber Smokey Joe grills. If you're on a tight budget this probably isn't the grill for you. If you're looking for something that's both practical and attractive, that shows itself off a little, this is a nice grill to own.

Good grill for small lunches, dinners, and picnics,
This review is from: Bodum Fyrkat 13.4-Inch Portable Charcoal Grill, Orange (Lawn & Patio)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Bodum Frykat 13.4 Inch Portable Charcoal Grill is a handy little grill for those who don't have the space for a larger grill, or who want a portable grill you can take along just about anywhere. It's small enough to take along and use wherever, but large enough to cook a fair amount at a time. This is more for the family going on a picnic or cooking a couple burgers and hot dogs quickly in the back yard or on the deck, not for hosting a large party. (It is big enough to cook a couple steaks too)I have the orange model, which my little girl really likes because she likes orange. However, it does come in green, yellow, black, blue and off-white. Personally, I'd probably go with the black model if it was just me, but it is nice that they have the colors for those that want the variety. Most important thing is that it cooks, and that it does. There is a small tray and grate that fits in the bottom to place your charcoal on top of, and then there is the larger grill that fits on top. The unit is not very deep, so you won't be placing a lot of charcoal in it. Again, this is for cooking small meals, and it works just fine for that. The legs are sturdy enough. I placed mine on the concrete beside our back door and it was fine. The directions to state that the unit is not intended to be used on top of tables. There is a handle on top of the lid that is rubber covered so it does not get hot when on the grill. I had no issues with taking the cover off to turn our meat or retrieve it when it was done. There are two air vents right under the handle, and you close those by turning the handle. There are also three rubber clips on the side. These are for transporting the unit when not in use. These clips clamp the lid to the rest of the unit and you can then pick up the entire grill by the convenient handle on top and take the grill with you wherever you go. You don't want to do this unless it is cool of course. If you are looking for a small charcoal grill due to lack of space, or need a smaller spare for taking with you, the Bodum Frykat 13.4 Inch Portable Charcoal Grill is a good little unit that does the trick. It is a bit more expensive than some of the models you can find, but it is nicer in a couple ways than some of the cheaper ones I've seen too. I like cooking with it, my little girl likes the color, and I'm sure it will be a nice, handy, little grill for many lunches, dinners, and picnics.

a Video Review on The Bodum Picnic Grill,
By Charles Evans "Call me Kevin" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

The Bodum Picnic Grill is a good looking grill that you can take with you on your family outings. It is big enough for a 4 or 5 hamburgers or steaks but small enough to easily fit in the trunk of your car. A few other points - As others have mentioned the grills vent is right by the handle. You do need to be careful - With the locks on the side the grill can be moved without worrying about everything dumping out. - The grill is very colorful - if you like colorful grills you are in luck! - Lightweight - probably weighs less than 3lbs - Seems to have solid construction - it certainly does not feel flimsy - Designed to allow even charcoal distribution while provide a nice convection like effect - At the list price the grill does not seem like much of a value. You may want to investigate to see if you can find less expensive options. Final Verdict - I am impressed with the grill, but you may be able to find a less expensive options 4 Stars 2115|R2S4X6M3WZ336U;2115|R2FDWVII2NLOK4;2115|R33670LL5YNB7K;
