Wolf Steel NK18K-LEG-3 18 Inch Charcoal Kettle Grill

Product Description

The WOLF STEEL ACQUISITION LLC NK18K-LEG-3 is an 18-inch charcoal kettle grill designed for outdoor cooking enthusiasts who want precise temperature control in a compact, stable unit. The grill features adjustable air vents for managing airflow at both the top and bottom of the bowl, allowing the cook to dial in heat for direct grilling, slow roasting, or smoking with wood chips and chunks. The Vortex heat management system promotes convection circulation inside the kettle, improving searing performance and fuel efficiency. Stainless steel cooking grids heat quickly and are hinged for easy mid-cook access to the charcoal bed. An integrated temperature gauge is mounted in the lid for at-a-glance monitoring.

This kettle grill is suited for residential backyard use and portable outdoor cooking setups where a smaller footprint is needed. The 18-inch cooking surface fits standard charcoal arrangements and accommodates indirect smoking configurations using wood chunks alongside the charcoal. Improved leg joints provide a rock-solid base and elevate the cooking surface to a comfortable working height. The unit ships as a single piece with legs included, making it a practical choice for patios, campsites, and tailgate setups where setup space is limited.

Before first use, burn off any manufacturing residues by running a full charcoal load without food on the grate.
