Meadow Creek BBQ26S Chicken Cooker

The double-sided stainless steel grate allows you to flip the entire rack of meat at once rather than turning individual pieces. This ensures even cooking and makes it significantly easier to achieve a consistent, golden-brown skin across all pieces simultaneously.

Yes, the BBQ26S is quite versatile. By utilizing the adjustable charcoal pan to bring the heat closer to the grate, you can effectively sear steaks, burgers, and sausages, making it a capable all-around charcoal grill for smaller gatherings.

The adjustable height allows you to control the intensity of the heat reaching your food. Lowering the pan creates a more indirect, oven-like environment for slow roasting, while raising it provides the high, direct heat necessary for searing.

The unit weighs 124 lbs and is equipped with 5-inch heavy-duty casters. While it is sturdy and built from 13-gauge steel, these wheels make it manageable to reposition on flat, solid surfaces.

You can monitor the heat using the built-in, calibratable stainless steel thermometer. To adjust the temperature, use the vent located on the lid to control airflow and the adjustable charcoal pan to manage the proximity of the heat source.

The grill provides 384 square inches of primary cooking space. In practical terms, this allows you to cook up to 15 lbs of chicken, 24 hamburgers, or about 9 to 10 ribeye steaks at one time.
