Some of the best grills — like the Weber Genesis EX-335 Outdoor Stainless Steel Gas Grill at Walmart, which earned a Real Homes gold seal of excellence — are pricey and quite large, whereas this tiny fella from Lidl allows for smoking, baking, grilling, and high-temperature cooking, but cuts down on space.

If you're trying to figure out how to barbecue right, there are reasons to consider the kamado style. For one the quality and durability are likely to last a lifetime, and they're known for A+ heat retention and fuel efficiency.

Considering Lidl's offering clocks in at just 23 inches high, this selection might surprise you with its capabilities. The stainless steel sliding bottom vent and cast iron top are the perfect combination to keep temperatures contained, while the inner fire ring and fire box comprised of premium ceramic enable optimum heat retention.

And things will get hot: expect long-lasting heat diffusion and distribution from 122°-842° Fahrenheit.

The Grill Meister also comes with other nifty features you'll appreciate, like a sturdy bamboo handle and integrated thermometer. Although it's somewhat small, do keep in mind that at 50 lbs, it's likely heavier than your average portable grill.
