AmazingRibs.com just reviewed the PKGO, a portable charcoal grill from Portable Kitchen that skips all the tech fluff. No apps, no Bluetooth, no touchscreens pretending to “optimize airflow.” What we’re talking about here is a portable grill that combines the simplest things to return man to nature.

And honestly, that’s what makes it perfect.

Simple doesn’t mean weak

The PKGO isn’t fancy, but it’s functional in all the right ways. You get a 200-square-inch cooking area, a cast-aluminum body, and a design that works with you, not against you.

There’s even a probe port for your thermometer, in case you need just a little bit of tech to get it right.

Features that make the cookout great

  • 2-Zone Cooking: The FlipKit setup lets you go from hot sear to slow roast without touching a dial

  • Dual Hibachi Mode: Flip the lid, split the base, and now you’ve got two grills

  • Built to Travel: Light enough for the truck bed, tough enough for the tailgate.

No WiFi. No firmware updates. Just meat, smoke, and a little manual labor. The way nature intended.

Uncomplicate the cookout

We’re surrounded by “smart” everything. Smart fridges, smart smokers, smart everything. But every now and then, we need to dumb it down. There’s nothing like a casual charcoal grill experience.

When you’re camping, tailgating, or smoking in the driveway, the real luxury is how little you have to think.
