PK Grills
Posted on 6/1/22 at 2:07 pm

Anyone have a PK grill (in any of their models) and want to share their thoughts?
They appear to be durable, but small. I've been watching some youtube videos, and everyone who cooks ribs has to cut the racks in half. I'm also interested if they'd rust (I live in a salty environment).
Thanks in advance

Science Lesson from PK Grills
Looks like these may be for you if you're concerned about rust.

quote:I don't own one but will still share my thoughts. I've read cast aluminum is the most durable material used to make grills and has the best heat retention of any grill. You can find examples where a PK has been passed down to multiple generations in a family and it's still just as good as when it was originally bought.
share their thoughts
Cast aluminum may be world class, but the cooking area and price aren't very appealing to me. I'm sure nothing else compares to it for cooking with direct heat, but I'd consider other options if you're wanting to cook something low and slow like ribs, brisket, etc. I have seen videos of people smoking turkeys on them and I'm sure you could do pork butts too if they're not too big.
Hope that helps.

It does. Yes, the capacity, even with the new PK360 (which looks like a spaceship to me), is just not there.

I have a PK from the 70s. Zero rust. All I’ve ever replaced are the wheels and the grate.

Mine is like this one:
It will not rust - aluminum does not rust. Mine was used near brackish water for decades. You do have to replace the grates, because they are not aluminum.
They are small. They are expensive (because the aluminum costs that much). I pulled mine out of someone's trash. They were throwing it away because it had a wasp nest.
Absolutely recommended if you live by the sea.

I’ve had one for 8 years and don’t take care of it. The frame and cooker are aluminum and won’t rust, but the grill and charcoal grate will.
It’s not large enough to cook for large groups but cooks very well and is durable.
The PK is a very good little grill and I’d buy another one if I ever needed to.
Also, I’ve got some grill grates on it and they make it even better.

My buddy has one dating back to the 70’s. It’s a great grill for steaks, ribs, and chicken. I believe they are made in Little Rock. If you are not cooking for a large group they are great. My buddy rarely uses his except for certain things like a steak. He turns on his pellet grill for the convenience factor. He and his wife both work and they have four kids so that pellet grill gets utilized 3-4 times a week.
