A Portable Barbecue Grill/Smoker with a Briefcase Form Factor

Nomad Grills offers a versatile and compact way to BBQ

This seems like such an unlikely object: The Nomad Grill is a portable charcoal-fired barbecue grill with a briefcase form factor.

Made of cast aluminum and weighing 28 pounds, the manufacturer says the multi-layer construction means the outside doesn't get very hot, so you can set the grill on wooden surfaces.

With one of the grates in place, you can use the Nomad like a smoker, closing the lid and controlling the built-in intake and outtake vents to adjust the airflow.

With the optional second grate in place, you've got double the cooking surface area.

When you're done, you just latch the lid shut, close both vents and the fire snuffs itself out. It reportedly takes 10-20 minutes to cool down to the point where you can stow it. If you empty it of coals entirely, the cooldown takes just minutes.

Open, it's 20.5" x 27.5" x 4.75". Closed, the dimensions are 20.5" x 13.5" x 9.5".

The Nomad Grill runs $600 including one grate. A second grate will set you back $128.

I think I'd just put my charcoal and fire starting materials inside and skip the additional fire starter. I like the portability and compact size for storage. I wonder how many years it will last?

Geez, that is the cost of a Weber gas grill. I was disappointed the charcoal starter doesn't come with it and fits neatly inside. And the coals. Because now you're carrying a portable charcoal grill, a charcoal starter and a bag of coals. Not as portable.
