The Lippert Odyssey is a compact, self-contained charcoal grill built for RVers, campers, beach-goers, and tailgaters who want real charcoal flavor without the bulk. At just 5.29 lbs and 14.17 inches across, it packs up into its own carrying case -- complete with an insulated cooler attachment -- and travels wherever you do. A built-in fan and temperature control knob take the guesswork out of lighting and managing charcoal, giving you consistent heat from just 5-6 briquettes while feeding a crowd of up to 10 people.
Most portable grills force a trade-off: gas for convenience or charcoal for flavor. The Odyssey refuses that compromise. Its fan-assisted ignition system gets your charcoal going faster than traditional lighting methods, and the temperature control knob lets you dial in the heat precisely -- whether you are searing burgers or slow-cooking ribs at the campground. The entire cooking system collapses into a single self-contained unit secured by integrated safety latches, so nothing shifts around during transport.
The innovative ventilation design channels airflow for even cooking across the grate surface, reduces visible smoke output, and routes grease drippings away from the burning charcoal -- a practical feature that prevents flare-ups and keeps your food tasting clean. Cleanup is equally straightforward: both the barbecue grate and the inner stainless steel basin are dishwasher safe.
Built-in fan speeds charcoal lighting and maintains consistent cooking temperature throughout your meal.
Includes outer bowl, stainless steel basin, grill plate, BBQ grate, ignition plate, charcoal container with cover, and tongs. Everything you need in one box.
The included carrying case features an insulated cooler attachment to keep drinks cold while you cook -- no second bag required.
The BBQ grate and inner basin both go straight into the dishwasher. Less scrubbing at the campsite, more time around the fire.
The Odyssey ships as a complete cooking kit. You do not need to source accessories separately. The full contents are:
The Odyssey's airflow design serves a dual purpose. First, it channels oxygen efficiently to the charcoal bed so that 5-6 standard briquettes generate enough heat to cook for up to 10 people -- an unusually strong output for such a small footprint. Second, the grease deflection system routes drippings away from the coals, minimizing flare-ups and the acrid taste they leave behind. The temperature control knob works in conjunction with the fan speed to give you real-time heat adjustability without lifting the lid and losing temperature.
The 14.17 x 14.17 inch grate footprint is sized for a meaningful cook -- not just a single burger. Lippert rates the Odyssey for feeding up to 10 people from a single load of 5-6 briquettes, making it well-suited for family camping or a small group gathering. Plan for standard hamburger-sized portions; the grate area accommodates approximately 6-8 burgers or equivalent portions simultaneously.
