What Type of Grill to Get Dad for Father’s Day

A new grill is the perfect Father's Day gift. First, it's a Father's Day gift he will actually use. Second, dad gets a grill and the family gets food. That's a win-win in our book.

At Char-Griller, we have a grill or griddle for every backyard and cooking style, and we wanted to make choosing the right Char-Griller for dad stress-free. Check out our guide below for which type of Char-Griller will be the perfect Father's Day gift this year.

A Classic Charcoal Barrel Grill

Does Dad love classic charcoal flavor? Is starting up the coals and standing by the grill with a beer one of his favorite parts of summer? Then the classic charcoal barrel is the perfect grill for your dad. Char-Griller barrel grills come in a variety of sizes. From the smaller Patio Pro® to the Pro Deluxe®, a barrel grill is a great option for the dad who wants to grill with charcoal but wants lots of options when it comes to cooking zones.

An added bonus? You can make any Char-Griller barrel grill an offset Smoker with the Side Fire Box/Table Top Grill Charcoal Grill.

An Offset Smoker

Char-Griller offset smokers are a Father's Day gift that will provide dad with hours of tinkering and adjusting so the airflow and heat stay just right to get that perfect smoke ring and bark.

The Smokin' Pro™ Barrel Grill and Offset Smoker or the King-Griller Smokin' Ace Charcoal Grill and Offset Smoker is a good option for the dad who is chasing that perfect smoke ring.  

A Smokin' Pro Grill with offset smoker sits near the edge of a paved patio in front of a green lawn and trees. The grill is open to show food on the grates.

An AKORN® Kamado Grill

Have a Dad that wants to cook everything on the grill? The Char-Griller AKORN is the grill he needs. Grill, smoke, sear, roast, bake, and so much more with the AKORN kamado grill. Its triple walled insulation means ultimate fuel efficiency and the innovative steel body means that it is easy to move while still being able to stand up to the elements.

The AKORN also comes in a Jr. model so dad can take his grilling on the go for camping, tailgating and more.

A Dual Fuel Gas & Charcoal Grill

Have a dad that loves the flavor of charcoal but wants the convenience of gas sometimes? We have the solution: a dual fuel grill. With gas on one side and charcoal on the other, Char-Griller Dual Fuel grills are a great way to get the best of both worlds. They are even Side Fire Box adaptable so you can turn the charcoal side into an offset smoker! 

A Flat Iron® Gas Griddle

If Dad already has a grill he loves, why not add a griddle to his outdoor cooking arsenal? Coming in 2-Burner, 3-Burner, 4-Burner, and a portable model, the Char-Griller Flat Iron® gives you the ability to cook a wide variety of meals for any time of the day. Create individual heat zones to cook every part of your meal at once. Cleanup is a breeze thanks to the easy-to-use grease tray, and to be honest, the griddle might be the most fun thing to cook on ever.

Fair warning, since you can literally cook everything from pancakes and hash browns to stir-fry and fajitas, you might never get dad to cook a meal inside ever again.

A Flat Iron griddle in use to cook bacon (using a bacon press), hash brown potatoes, French toast, and eggs (using egg rings). A wide spatula is inserted blade-down into a slot on the side shelf to the left. A green lawn and trees are in the background.
