Overview
A charcoal grill with roughly 794 square inches of total cooking area, split between a 505 square inch primary grate and a 289 square inch warming rack, with two independently height-adjustable charcoal trays and two foldable side tables.
- 794 sq in total cooking area (505 primary + 289 warming)
- Two independently adjustable charcoal trays
- Two foldable side tables double as handles
- Full-size ash tray for cleanup
Who it's for
Fits anyone hosting medium to large backyard cookouts who wants charcoal-level flavor with more temperature control than a fixed grate offers. Less suited to anyone expecting heavy-gauge steel or planning to move the grill often, given reports of the frame twisting under handling.
Pros and cons
- Independently adjustable charcoal tray height for heat zones
- Large 794 sq in total cooking area
- Full-size ash tray simplifies cleanup
- QR code video included to guide assembly
- Metal gauge is thin and can bend easily
- Porcelain grates are lightweight and may need replacing
- Frame can twist out of square if carried carelessly
Performance notes
Because each charcoal tray moves independently, closer to the grate for high heat searing or lower for slow indirect cooking, one buyer tested it by holding steady temperatures of 250, 350, and 400 degrees for extended stretches, which suggests the airflow and tray design hold heat consistently despite thin-gauge metal.
