Who it's for

Pros and cons
- 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
- 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.
