The heavy cast aluminum construction of the Portable Kitchen® cooker reflects heat from all surfaces far better than cookers made from other materials. This reflected heat cooks food more evenly without constant turning or repositioning on the grill. Adjustable vents in the lid and dampers under the fire allow easy temperature control for direct grilling or slow cooking without flare-ups from dripping fat. Once the lid is lowered, the food cooks evenly, bathed in smoke for an unforgettable charcoal-fed hickory smoked flavor. Because of its unique cast aluminum construction, the Portable Kitchen® cooker will last for years without rusting.

In 1953, Lester E. Watson of Tyler, Texas, and Jasper L. Corley of Birmingham, Alabama, designed the world famous Portable Kitchen® outdoor cooker. For more than 10 years, the Portable Kitchen® cooker was made in Tyler, Texas. Later, Lewis Hamlin moved operations to Little Rock and Jacksonville, Arkansas. The cooker then gained international stature with thousands being exported worldwide to barbeque aficionados.
Unfortunately, the advent of cheaper stamped metal charcoal grills and trendy gas grills of the eighties led to an early retirement of the heavy duty cast aluminum cooker, despite its superior design and manufacture.
Tired of rusted out, cheap charcoal grills, and convinced that a propane flame could never produce the flavor of charcoal-fed hickory smoke, Paul and Sarah James retrieved one of the original 1953 cookers at a garage sale.
The rest is history. Wholeheartedly believing that the Portable Kitchen® cast aluminum cooker is still the perfect charcoal cooker, the James family has set out to reintroduce it to the market.
