The Gourmia portable Charcoal Electric Grill can be used outdoors and indoors – like a patio or a terrace. Since the grill does use charcoal, it should be used in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide intake.
The Gourmia Grill comes equipped with a smart fan system that reduces the amount of charcoal used and maintains cooking temperature. The round shape of the grill makes it easier to store especially if you’re going camping – a travel bag comes included.
Even though it is called a smokeless grill, the smoke released will be from the food being grilled and not the charcoal. Keep this in mind before firing the grill up in the kitchen. The amount of smoke depends on your cooking capabilities, and a lot of smoke is a clear sign that the grill is getting too hot.
The three most important selling points of the Gourmia Charcoal Grill are it’s
Size
The round shape of the grill isn’t just reminiscent of the days past, but the shape allows the components to fit snug and compact. The circular grill plate gives ample room to cook and can be used for cooking with a pot – as long as the pot is placed in the center. The circular shape makes the grill easily distinguishable as an outdoor product.
Durability
The Gourmia Grill is small in size to make it portable; by using a fan system and non-stick grill plates, the grill sheds some serious weight. The lightweight grill won’t rust like other outdoor grills, and without a stand or giant surface area, it is less prone to dings and dents.
Greener
Just by using less fuel you are lowering your carbon footprint. Obviously buying a grill which doesn’t use coal seems smarter, but that grill will be less portable.
The fan system helps to maintain the coals at a certain temperature, improving the combustion by regulating air flow. The regulation of air flow helps the grill use less coal; at the same time using more of it.

The Gourmia Grill is compact and portable. The grilling space is almost twelve inches – the same size as a vinyl record. The grill uses a mix of electronics, fuel, and layering to create a smart grill.
The grill comprises a removable ignition plate, on top which sits the charcoal box and the drip tray. The top is covered by the grill plate. The power source is made up of four AA batteries, which sit in a battery holder near the base of the grill.
Thanks to thoughtful construction, grill plate, and drip tray are easily removable. The ignition plate improves the safety quality of the product and decreases the likely hood of any mishaps.
The fan system fitted in the grill keeps the flame strength uniform which helps to keep the coals at the right temperature. The even burning reduces carbon monoxide emission and uses the fuel more efficiently.
