Choosing between these two bbq grills & smokers comes down to a hooded keg-style charcoal setup or a folding stainless-steel design. The Portable Charcoal BBQ Grill - Outdoor Keg Style, Durable Hood, 186 Sq In Cooking is priced at $142.49, while the 14-In. x 14-In. Stainless Steel Portable Folding Charcoal BBQ Grill and Outdoor is $57.59. That $84.90 spread makes the decision less about a single "best" grill and more about whether you want airflow-focused grilling or compact, multi-use outdoor cooking.
Quick verdict
The keg-style grill favors controlled charcoal cooking and a carried setup built around flip-up legs and a large handle. The folding grill favors flexible outdoor use for smaller groups, with a design that can support grilling and fire-pit use. Both are charcoal grills, but their formats suit different routines.

Product notes
Portable Keg-Style Charcoal BBQ Grill
Flip-up legs and an oversized handle are the clearest reasons to choose the Portable Charcoal BBQ Grill - Outdoor Keg Style, Durable Hood, 186 Sq In Cooking. They give the keg-shaped charcoal grill a defined carry-and-setup focus for gatherings or camping trips. The powder-coated hood and bowl are also named in its construction details, while the cooking area is stated as 186 square inches. The main limitation is its weight: at just over 12 pounds, it may not suit someone making the lightest possible carry the top priority. Its $142.49 price is another meaningful consideration, especially when the competing format is separated by an $84.90 price spread. Choose it for the hooded design and handling features rather than for a flat-storage setup.
14-In. x 14-In. Stainless Steel Folding Charcoal Grill
Flat storage is the central reason to choose the 14-In. x 14-In. Stainless Steel Portable Folding Charcoal BBQ Grill and Outdoor. It folds down flat for compact storage and portability, and its two height positions add setup flexibility. The description also allows cookware to sit directly over the grate, making the grill useful for preparing items such as coffee, bacon, eggs, pancakes, pasta, or soup outdoors. Its stated limitation is a cooking capacity of up to 3 people. That makes the model a defined fit for smaller cookouts, while shoppers planning food for a larger gathering should weigh that serving guidance against their plans. The fire-pit function adds another use beyond grilling.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Portable Charcoal BBQ Grill - Outdoor Keg Style, Durable Hood, 186 Sq In Cooking when two-side-vent draft control, a hooded charcoal format, and carry features matter most. Choose the 14-In. x 14-In. Stainless Steel Portable Folding Charcoal BBQ Grill and Outdoor when flat storage and two height positions better match your routine. For a price-led decision, the folding model is the direction to take: the two listed prices are $84.90 apart.
