Overview
A large charcoal grill from Sophia & William with a combined 794 square inches of cooking and warming space, built around two independently adjustable charcoal trays. It targets buyers grilling for a crowd who want zone control over heat without moving the coals by hand.
The standout mechanism is the pair of lifting charcoal trays, raised or lowered by side handles to create separate hot and cool zones on the same grill. Feedback is split on build quality: most buyers found it sturdy and well finished, but at least one reported the steel gauge was thinner and the grates were wire rather than the cast iron they expected.
- 794 sq in combined cooking area (505 main + 289 warming)
- Dual independently lifting charcoal trays
- Front-access door with cool-touch handle
- Folding side tables plus integrated tool hooks
Who it's for
Hosts cooking for 10 to 15 people who want two heat zones on one charcoal grill and porcelain-enameled grates. Not ideal for buyers who specifically want cast iron cooking grates.
Pros and cons
- 794 sq in of combined cooking and warming space
- Independently lifting charcoal trays create two heat zones
- Front-access door and slide-out ash pan simplify charcoal changes and cleanup
- Folding side tables with hooks for tool storage
- One reviewer found the steel gauge thin and the grates made of wire rather than cast iron
- Assembly took about two hours for at least one buyer, with the tray and hinge steps flagged as confusing
Performance notes
Two charcoal trays lift and lower independently via handles on either side, letting one side run hot for searing while the other stays low for gentler cooking, all without touching the fuel directly. A front-access door lets you add or rearrange charcoal without lifting the hot grates, a lid-mounted gauge tracks temperature, and dual side dampers plus an adjustable smoke stack manage airflow.
