NOMAD’s story begins with a simple need for a portable grill that wouldn’t rust out or fall apart mid-adventure. Tired of the quasi-disposable, stamped steel and barely bolted contraptions that flood the market, they set out to build a better grill — one they could take places, one that could keep up, and one they’d be proud to show up and cook with.

The result is the NOMAD Grill & Smoker: a premium-quality, high-performance, ultra-versatile charcoal grill & smoker—the perfect portable provision for the pitmaster-on-the-move.

The folks at Epicurious say there’s nothing quite like the Nomad, which they’ve anointed “the best portable grill on the market.”

NOMAD’s charcoal grill & smoker starts with an outer casing that houses two heavy-duty, cast aluminum cookboxes that make up over 60% of the total assembly weight. All that mass ensures the grill holds heat in incredibly well and maintains stable smoking temps for hours on end. “We’ve taken a lot of the guesswork out of live-fire cooking and low & slow smoking,” says Co-Founder John Veatch. “Our grill is ideal for both low- and high-temperature grilling. And unlike other portable grills, the NOMAD is built like tank and as rugged—and packable—a grill as they come.”

Each grill comes with a sizeable stainless steel grate with the option to add a second to double your grate space and pack 425 square inches of total cooking space (enough space to grill up to 30 burgers at once) into a 31-pound package. “We’re thrilled to announce the next generation of our NOMAD Grill & Smoker that includes new features like twice the ventilation (now four vents instead of two) for better heat control and increased airflow. We’ve also introduced quick-release silicone feet for easier customization moving forward on this new V2 unit,” says Co-Founder Cam Leggett.

Part grill, part smoker, all-purpose performance for grilling on-the-go, the NOMAD Grill & Smoker leads an arsenal of premium provisions for the barbecue enthusiast. NOMAD also offers outdoor cooking gear including a BBQ tool set, chef knife, premium charcoal, fire starters and more grill tools and accessories launching soon—all over-engineered to outlast and outperform the competition at home or on the roam.
