Outdoor Grilling: Portable Tables, a 24-Inch Charcoal Smoker, or a Gas-Griddle Combo?

Four outdoor cooking options cover portable grill stands, a charcoal smoker-style grill, and a 2-in-1 gas grill with griddle. Use this guide to match the setup to your patio space and cooking style.

Last updated Aug 15, 2026

If you're setting up an outdoor cooking space, the hardest part is deciding between a grill, a griddle, or a portable stand that makes an existing cooker easier to use. The four products here cover all three approaches: two wheeled cart tables designed for Blackstone griddles, a 24-inch charcoal grill with a warming rack, and a 2-in-1 gas grill/griddle combo. Before you choose, think about what you already own, how much patio space you have, and whether you want the direct heat of charcoal or the convenience of gas.

Quick Take

For most setups, the 2-in-1 gas combo offers the most versatility because you get both cast iron grates and a flat top. If you already own a Blackstone 17- or 22-inch griddle, the JiRiCHMi cart table gives you a movable workstation. The charcoal grill gives you a classic charcoal cooking surface.

Product Notes

Jirichmi Grill Table For Blackstone Griddle 22 And 17 Inch

Listed at USD 179.99, this wheeled cart table is for anyone who already owns a 17-inch or 22-inch Blackstone griddle (or a compatible pizza oven or grill). It features a patented design, a magnetic tool holder and caddy system, and four locking wheels for moving the cooking station around the patio. It is an add-on shelf and rail item, so it is not a standalone cooker. Choose it when you want to turn an existing griddle into a mobile outdoor kitchen. The main limitation is that it does not include the cooking surface itself, so factor in the cost and availability of the griddle you plan to place on top.

Grill Table For Blackstone Griddle 22 and 17 Inch

This JiRiCHMi cart lists at USD 202.48 and shares the same intended use: a portable table for 17-inch or 22-inch Blackstone griddles. The color is black, the frame material is metal, and the finish is alloy steel. Like its lower-priced sibling, it has the magnetic tool holder and caddy system and four wheels with locks, making it a partner piece rather than a full grill. If you prefer the black finish and a country of origin of the United States, this version may be worth the higher listed price. Just remember that you are still buying a support table, not a cooking appliance.

Heavy Duty 24-Inch Charcoal Grill BBQ Barbecue Smoker Outdoor Pit Patio Cooker

At USD 118.97, this is the lowest listed price in the group. The cart-style charcoal grill offers a 372-square-inch main cooking surface plus a 201-square-inch warming rack, and it uses heavy-duty cast iron cooking grates. It is a charcoal setup, so you will need to manage briquettes or lump charcoal and allow time for the coals to come to temperature. The dimensions (44.88 x 26.38 x 42.32 inches) make it a substantial patio presence. For anyone who wants the classic smoke-and-sear charcoal experience at a moderate listed price and has the space for it, this is the straightforward pick.

2-in-1 Gas Grill and Griddle Combo with Cover Cast Iron Grates Non-Stick

The most expensive option here is the 2-in-1 combo at USD 399.99. It has four independently controlled stainless steel burners with a combined 49,000 BTU output, plus a 9,000 BTU side burner. The cast iron grates handle steaks and burgers while the stainless steel flat top cooks eggs, pancakes, seafood, and vegetables. Assembly is required, and the cooking area is 30.51 by 14.17 inches. If you want both a grill and a griddle in one freestanding unit and are willing to pay the highest listed price in this set, this combo gives you two cooking styles without a second appliance.

Final Recommendation

If you already own a Blackstone griddle and need a portable workstation, the Jirichmi Grill Table is the practical add-on because it adds wheels and tool storage without replacing your existing cooker. If you want a large charcoal cooking surface with a warming rack, the Heavy Duty 24-Inch Charcoal Grill is the one for classic barbecue-style cooking. If your priority is cooking both pancakes and steaks at once without a second appliance, the 2-in-1 Gas Grill and Griddle Combo is the most versatile. The right choice comes down to whether you need a support piece, a charcoal cooker, or a dual-zone gas setup.
