BBQ-Toro Kugelgrill Ø 57 cm

The BBQ-Toro Kettle Grill Ø 57 cm with item number BBQ67 is a charcoal kettle grill with a round bowl on a cart frame: two side tables, a storage shelf, two wheels.

We have not handled it and have not grilled anything on it. We compare data, and that data comes from the product page on bbq-toro.de (read on 14 October 2026) and from the Amazon catalogue for ASIN B09PYYGKHN; the product photos are added to that. We did not find an operating or assembly manual; the page only refers to an assembly manual in the box. Our own calculations and assessments are marked as such in the text.

Manufacturer and model number

BBQ-Toro is a brand of CS-Trading GmbH & Co. KG from Brauneberg (Wittlich local court, HRA 40048). On the product page, under product safety, the company is named as the manufacturer and as the responsible person in the EU; it also runs the shop bbq-toro.de. According to its About Us page, it has been active in online retail for several years and now carries more than 100 items of the brand.

The model has the item number BBQ67 and the EAN 4260532297187. The Amazon catalogue lists BBQ67 as the part number under B09PYYGKHN and the same EAN in the model field, so our buy button points to exactly this grill. This is not a formality: the range includes two other kettle grills with 57 in the name, the BBQ99 (EAN 4260120774113) with a fixed lid and the BBQ97 Birch (EAN 4260532297194) with a removable lid. According to our check in October 2026, the kettle grills category on bbq-toro.de comprises exactly these three.

The 57 cm in the name is a size designation; the value is not labelled anywhere as an outside diameter. Labelled dimensions follow in the next section.

Construction: bowl, grates, frame and wheels

According to the manufacturer, the charcoal bowl and lid are made of porcelain-enamelled steel and the grate of chrome-plated steel; the colour is black. Enamel is a glass-like layer that is fused onto the steel at high temperature. As long as it is intact, it protects the metal underneath, and where it chips off, the steel is exposed and can rust (this is how enamel behaves in general, not a statement about this grill). The grate is steel with a chrome layer, so it is neither stainless steel nor cast iron. According to the manufacturer, the lid handle lets you open and close the lid with one hand.

The cooking grate is Ø 54.5 cm, the charcoal grate below it Ø 39 cm. BBQ-Toro does not give an area in square centimetres; for a round grate with a diameter of 54.5 cm, the circle formula gives 2,333 cm² (our calculation; how much of it is usable depends on the rim, which the page does not describe). The dimensions list gives the warming rack as W 38 x D 28 cm. In the product photos, a second rack is folded up against the bowl above the main grate.

In the photo, the frame is a black tubular frame with a flat shelf between the legs. The dimensions list gives the upper shelf as W 36 x D 44 cm; according to the description, the large side surfaces are intended for dishes and grilling accessories such as food, cutlery and charcoal. The lower shelf below the charcoal bowl measures W 67 x D 46 cm and, according to the manufacturer, holds charcoal, food or grilling tools. In the photo, there is a side table to the left and right of the bowl. The left one has a cut-out on the outer edge, and on the right one hang hooks, two of them with long wire handles. Whether these are the two included grate lifters cannot be seen from the page.

The two wheels are Ø 16.5 cm and 4.5 cm thick; according to the manufacturer they allow easy moving and safe transport. In the photo, both sit on the same side of the undercarriage, with feet at the opposite end. That suggests you lift the grill at the end with the feet and roll it on the wheels (our inference from the photo).

The whole grill measures W 132 x D 64 x H 95 cm, including the side shelves, and weighs approx. 16 kg. The Amazon catalogue lists the same values in inches and pounds.

In detail: air, charcoal bed and lid thermometer

A kettle grill controls its heat through air. At the bottom of the bowl, oxygen flows to the charcoal, and the hot gases escape through an opening in the lid. With both openings wide open, the charcoal burns hottest; the further you close them, the less oxygen reaches the embers, and with both closed, they suffocate.

On the BBQ67, the ash catcher is removable and has an air intake control, and there is a vent slider for the exhaust air in the lid. In the photo, you can see a round vent with slats on the inside of the lid, with the thermometer above it. BBQ-Toro does not say in what steps either can be set or which temperature each position produces.

Two measurements in the dimensions list can be read together. The charcoal sits on the charcoal grate of Ø 39 cm, and the cooking grate above it is Ø 54.5 cm. If the two sit centred on top of each other, which the page does not say, a ring 7.75 cm wide with no embers beneath it remains at the edge, and the charcoal bed covers roughly half of the grate area (51 per cent). That is our calculation from two manufacturer figures. For food at the edge, it means less heat from below than in the centre; BBQ-Toro has not substantiated this, and the page mentions no charcoal divider or diffuser for the BBQ67 anywhere.

For indirect grilling, you pile the charcoal on one side and put the food on the area without charcoal. Our guide Using direct and indirect heat correctly explains the rules. In our assessment, this works on any kettle grill with a lid and air control; BBQ-Toro has neither intended nor described it for the BBQ67.

According to the manufacturer, the lid thermometer is large and is meant to make the temperature in the grill easy to read. It shows the air temperature at its position in the lid, not the temperature at the grate and not the one in the meat; above the embers, it can in principle be much hotter at the grate than under the top of the lid. Only a probe thermometer measures the core temperature of a roast or poultry. The guide Grill thermometers: probe, wireless or cable-free? explains which types exist.

Does the grill fit on a balcony?

Your tenancy agreement and house rules decide that, not the grill. On placement, BBQ-Toro writes: outdoors, in well-ventilated areas, on a stable, level surface, away from flammable materials. No distance is given.

For the footprint, the outer dimension including the side shelves from the construction section counts, not the bowl alone. Whether the side tables can be folded up or removed is not stated by the manufacturer, and no hinges are visible in the photo. Plan for the full width.

The line about good ventilation is there because of carbon monoxide, which forms when charcoal burns incompletely and is odourless (a general property, not a manufacturer’s statement). Whether a covered or side-enclosed loggia still counts as well ventilated is not answered by BBQ-Toro; we would not grill there. With any charcoal grill, smoke drifts to the neighbours, and sparks can reach awnings and wooden or plastic cladding. The guide Grilling on a balcony explains the legal situation and alternatives. If you first want to work out which type suits your space and fuel, use the Grill Finder.

Safety and care: what BBQ-Toro specifies

These notes appear in the safety text on the product page (read on 14 October 2026). We give them in full and in our own words, so that no point is singled out:

• The grill is intended for grilling food with charcoal or briquettes, and outdoors.
• It must never be used indoors or in other enclosed areas.
• Handle the hot metal parts carefully, otherwise there is a risk of injury.
• The surface should be stable and level, and flammable materials do not belong nearby.
• Never leave it unattended during use, and do not move it while it is hot.
• Use only in well-ventilated areas, because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Let it cool down completely after use before you move or clean it.
• Do not use a damaged grill, and keep children and pets away during use.
• Never light it with alcohol or petrol, only with lighters complying with the European standard EN 1860-3.
• Do not extinguish the charcoal with water.

With the removable ash catcher, the ash is disposed of after grilling, according to BBQ-Toro. On cleaning, the safety text contains only the sentence about cooling down. A general rule on this: ash can hold embers for a long time, so we would only empty the catcher once everything has cooled down completely. That is our own caution and goes beyond the manufacturer’s specification. We do not know the assembly manual in the box.

What the grill costs and what comes on top

In the manufacturer’s shop, the BBQ67 stood at €99.95 including VAT on 14 October 2026, shipping within Germany is free, the delivery time is 1 to 3 working days, and the grill was in stock. On the Amazon page it also stood at €99.95 on 14 October 2026 and was in stock; the Amazon catalogue field gave the same value on 5 October 2026. Prices change. What counts is the price the seller shows you on the day you buy.

On top of the grill price come items that the page does not name as part of the scope of delivery: charcoal or briquettes, lighters complying with EN 1860-3, grill tongs and a cover. Our data supplies no prices for these; add them in before you weigh grills against each other. For the choice of charcoal, there is the guide Charcoal or briquettes; BBQ-Toro names both fuels for this grill.

• Spare part availability for Amazon buyers

What else is worth considering?

The prices are guide values from the price boxes in our reviews. The rating is our editorial assessment, not a measurement result, and the table is not suitable for comparing grate size or weight, because the details come from different sources. More models are shown in the comparison of the best kettle grills 2026.

When the BBQ67 suits you and when another one does

On grate size, you do not need to switch. The three BBQ-Toro kettle grills state 53.5 cm (BBQ97 Birch, as cooking area), 54.5 cm (BBQ67, as cooking grate) and 55 cm (BBQ99, as cooking area); none of the pages recommends a number of people. The difference lies in the frame. According to the manufacturer’s page, the BBQ99 measures approx. 60 cm in width and approx. 70 cm in depth, the BBQ67 with its side tables 132 cm in width at 64 cm depth, so 72 cm more standing width. In our assessment, this width only pays off if you use the shelves; for narrow spaces, the BBQ99 is the obvious choice within the brand.

The BBQ99 costs €74.95 in the manufacturer’s shop, weighs approx. 11 kg and, according to the highlights, has a charcoal divider, a basket on the front legs and a fixed lid; the highlights do not list side shelves or grate lifters. The BBQ97 Birch costs €109.95 and weighs approx. 12.65 kg, its lid is removable, and the thermometer and warming rack are not in the highlights. Compared with the BBQ67 at €99.95, the BBQ99 is €25 cheaper in the shop and the BBQ97 Birch €10 more expensive (manufacturer pages, October 2026).

If you cook for hours at low temperature, you add charcoal in between. On the BBQ67, the page names a cooking grate of Ø 54.5 cm and includes two grate lifters; there is no mention of split grate halves or folding inserts, and in the photo a round grate with no visible division can be seen. Our inference: to add charcoal, you lift the grate with the food on it or take the food off beforehand. On the KEYO GRILL 22.5 inch, the grate is split and removable for adding charcoal according to the Amazon listing; on the Napoleon NK22K-LEG-2, according to Napoleon, there are grate inserts that fold on both sides.

If you want to read warranty terms before buying, you will find none from BBQ-Toro: the terms refer to the statutory liability for defects, and the manufacturer publishes no warranty of its own. For the bowl and lid of the Bar-B-Kettle 57, Weber states ten years against rust-through or burn-through and two years for the remaining parts (according to Weber’s warranty table, as described in our review). For the Napoleon, the warranty applies, according to Napoleon, only when bought through an authorised dealer. At approx. €373 in our price box, it costs more than three times the BBQ67 (approx. €100). If you want to check warranty terms, manual and distance details before buying, the BBQ67 is the wrong place. Our assessment: it suits you if shelves on the grill matter to you and the statutory liability for defects is enough.
