PK Grills PK Grill Original- Black PK300-BCX

The Original PK Grill came out in 1952, the same year as Weber kettles. Over the years the company went through ups and downs and changed ownership, and the grill went on and off the market, but it really didn’t change for half a century. One reason for the longevity, despite traveling a rocky road, was the rust resistant, cast aluminum design which refused to die. Many PK owners inherited their grills or found them for 20 bucks at a yard sale. But perhaps a more compelling reason was PK’s unusual rectangular shape and flat bottom that made it particularly well suited for 2-zone cooking. It’s easy to push the charcoal to one side and create a hot zone directly over the fire with a moderate, indirect zone on the opposite side. Additionally, PK’s unique dual intake and exhaust air dampers can be set for cross ventilation. Open the air intake on the lower right damper and close the opposite one on the left, then close the upper right exhaust damper while leaving the opposite left side damper open.
