Aussie 4106 Swinger Square Utility Charcoal Grill Review
Aussies are great for searing burgers, but not so much for roasting larger cuts, or cooking over a long duration. They have a very shallow lid, little air control and no ash removal system. We reviewed this model and awarded our Bronze Medal. Great portability, but limited for cooking capability.

You can also customize it with a pull-out ash tray, a trailer hitch.
