Nyama choma, done properly. This is the full Homelux grill range: charcoal trolley and barrel grills for the weekend crowd, kettle grills with lids, folding grills for camping and the balcony, gas grills from 2 to 6 burners, electric grill plates for indoors, and the tongs, skewers and brushes to work the fire. Every grill here is in stock in Nairobi and shown with its price. For what each type costs and how many people it feeds, read the charcoal grill prices in Kenya guide.

Charcoal grills

The 112cm barrel trolley grill with lid cooks for 8 to 10 people, the 110cm American style grill with thermometer and the 135cm double sided grill handle 10 to 15, and the 102cm grill cart and 71cm grill stand suit a family of 4 to 6. For a round grill with a lid, the 44cm kettle grill rolls on wheels and doubles as a smoker. See all of them in Charcoal BBQ Grills.

Gas and electric

Skip the charcoal wait with a 3 burner gas grill with warming rack, or step up to the 4, 5 and 6 burner cabinet gas grills with side burners for a restaurant or a large compound. Indoors, the DSP 2200W electric grill plate and the Philips contact grills give you grilled meat on the kitchen counter with no smoke.

Tools of the trade

The 20 piece stainless BBQ tool set puts tongs, skewers and brushes in one carry bag, and the 24 inch mshikaki skewers hold a full kilo each. Serve on cast iron sizzling plates, keep the sides warm in chafing dishes, and seat everyone with folding tables and chairs. For the rest of the party, see Party and Hosting Essentials.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a BBQ grill cost in Kenya?

A folding charcoal grill for camping is the cheapest way in. Trolley and barrel grills with lids, side shelves and wheels cost more, and gas grills with 3 or more burners cost the most. Every grill above shows its current price, and you can see them standing at the showroom in Nairobi CBD.

Which grill is best for nyama choma?

Charcoal, without much argument. It gives the smoke and high direct heat that gives nyama choma its flavour and char. Choose a grill with an adjustable grate height or a lid so you can sear first and then finish the meat lower and slower. A lid helps a great deal on windy evenings.

Charcoal or gas, which should I buy?

Charcoal gives better flavour and costs less upfront, but takes 20 to 30 minutes to reach cooking heat and needs cleaning after each use. Gas lights instantly, holds a steady temperature and suits weeknight cooking, but costs more and needs a cylinder. Many households buy charcoal for weekends and keep an electric plate for indoors.

Can I use a BBQ grill on an apartment balcony?

Check your building rules first, as many Nairobi apartments prohibit open flame and charcoal on balconies. Where charcoal is not allowed, an electric grill plate gives you grilled meat indoors without smoke or an open flame. Never use charcoal in an enclosed room; carbon monoxide from burning charcoal is dangerous.

What size grill do I need?

A cooking grid around 60x30cm feeds 4 to 6 people. For 8 to 10, look for a grid of 70cm or longer, which is where the barrel and trolley grills start. For 10 to 15 people or a mix of meats cooked at once, choose the 110cm and 135cm grills with two cooking zones.

How do I stop meat sticking to the grill?

Preheat the grate properly, brush it with oil just before the meat goes on, and resist turning too early. Meat releases from the grate on its own once it has seared. Cleaning the grate while it is still warm, with a wire brush, prevents the build-up that causes sticking next time.
