Our verdict

A solidly built, full-size charcoal grill for the price, with enough cooking area for a rack of ribs and two years of reported reliable use, as long as expectations match the lighter-gauge steel.

  • 443 sq. in. cooking grate + 184 sq. in. warming rack
  • Adjustable charcoal pan with lifting handle
  • Front storage basket and integrated hooks

Who it's for

Suits backyard cooks who want a full-size charcoal grill with real storage (front basket, side tables, integrated hooks) at a mid-range price. Less suited to buyers expecting heavy-gauge, Weber-level steel construction.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • 627 sq. in. combined cooking and warming space
  • Adjustable charcoal pan for heat control
  • Front storage basket, side tables, and utensil hooks
  • Reported sturdy after two years of use
Cons
  • Grates aren't fully flush and can shift
  • Lighter-gauge steel than premium grills
  • Assembly instructions called confusing by some buyers

Performance notes

The lifting handle on the charcoal pan lets you raise coals closer to the grates for searing or lower them for slower cooking, which also stretches charcoal use. The air damper and smoke stack add temperature control, and the 443 sq. in. main grate plus 184 sq. in.
