Some inventions are as simple as they are ingenious - and the NOMAD barbecue is just such a thing. A portable charcoal grill that looks like a sturdy aluminum case but turns into a fully-fledged outdoor kitchen when opened. Developed by a Texan start-up for all those who prefer to live - and cook - outdoors.
Although mobile barbecues have been around for a long time, NOMAD has completely rethought the concept. Instead of rickety sheet metal constructions, NOMAD relies on high-end materials: the body is made of anodized cast aluminium, as used in aviation - light, stable and durable. Inside, cast, curved stainless steel grids ensure perfect heat distribution. And with the patented multi-layer design including magnetic ventilation sliders, the air flow can be precisely controlled - almost like a full-size smoker.
The highlight: the NOMAD is ready for use in just a few seconds. Simply open it up, put in the charcoal and place the food on top. The heat retention is amazing - as is the weight-to-grill surface ratio. If you want, you can even add a second grilling surface (separate grill available) and thus cook for several people at the same time.
Two functions, one case
The NOMAD works as a classic charcoal grill and as a smoker - depending on how you use it. Thanks to the sophisticated ventilation system, you can do both with astonishing precision. Even low'n'slow dishes are no problem. And thanks to the sealed, insulated design, the heat stays exactly where it belongs: in the case. Not on the camping table.
For everyone who wants more than sausages on the go
Whether on a road trip, at the lake, in the backyard or in the back of your pick-up - the NOMAD brings barbecue quality to places where you would never have expected it. No electricity, no gas, no apps. Just charcoal, fire, good food - and a damn well-made case.
