Comparison of Cast Iron and Stainless Steel Charcoal Grills

Stainless steel charcoal grills generally offer better performance. Stainless steel is resistant to rust, has good heat conductivity, and is easy to clean, making it highly suitable for use as a charcoal grill.

In comparison, iron charcoal grills have inferior corrosion resistance compared to stainless steel, and they are also heavier. During use, ingredients and seasonings may react with iron, and cleaning them afterward can be more challenging. Therefore, stainless steel charcoal grills are more suitable for use.

When purchasing an outdoor charcoal grill, portability is often a key consideration. Because stainless steel and iron materials differ significantly, a grill made of iron is less durable. As we all know, iron items are prone to deformation during grilling, and it's inevitable that seasonings will stick to the grill. Iron is also prone to rust when exposed to salt and other substances, and cleaning it after grilling can accelerate rusting.
