Solid charcoal grill

This charcoal grill is a beast. The 14 gauge 304 stainless is no joke, very sturdy. Done a few cooks on it now and it holds heat great, with that charcoal flavor I love.

Leon D.★★★★☆October 15, 2021
Good quality, a bit pricey

The all stainless build is a big step up from my old grill and it fits my outdoor kitchen perfectly. My only critique is the price, it's a lot of money for a charcoal only grill.

Manuel H.★★★★☆September 17, 2019
Excellent Charcoal Flavor

The 28-inch size is just right for my family, and the single zone is easy to manage. I'm really impressed with how well this grill holds and distributes heat, making it simple to get those perfect char marks. Cleanup is also surprisingly straightforward for a charcoal grill.

Emilio E.★★★★★May 24, 2025
Built like a tank

Love cooking on this charcoal grill. The 14 gauge 304 stainless is really solid, you can tell it'll last. Every steak and burger has come out with great charcoal flavor and a good sear.

Vanessa H.★★★★★November 19, 2015
Best charcoal grill I've owned

Thrilled with my 28 inch charcoal grill. The 304 stainless is great quality and it fit right into my outdoor kitchen. Really enjoy cooking on it, real charcoal flavor and easy to control every time.

Questions & answers

5 questions answered

Q
Charcoal gets messy. How do I clean this grill and keep it in good shape?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
After each use, let it cool completely, then take out the grates and ash tray. Warm soapy water and a stiff brush work great on the grates. For the stainless body, use a stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth, wiping with the grain so it doesn't streak. Empty the ash pan regularly, that's important to prevent corrosion and keep the airflow right.

Q
How hard is it to build this charcoal grill into a custom island, and what cutout do I need?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's made to be built in, and it's pretty manageable if you have basic DIY skills, or you can hire a pro. You'll need an accurate cutout in your countertop. The installation manual gives the exact size, usually around 26 to 27 inches wide by 20 to 21 inches deep, which leaves room for ventilation and a flush fit. Always go by the manual's exact numbers before you cut.

Q
At this price, how durable is it with all the heat and ash? What does 304 stainless really mean for how long it lasts?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's built to last, which is a big part of the price. 304 stainless is a high-grade, corrosion-resistant steel that's great outdoors and handles direct heat and weather, so it holds up well against rust and pitting. With some care, it'll take years of hard use and keep its look and strength.

Q
I already have a gas grill. Can I use this charcoal grill alongside it, or is it more of a standalone?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Yes, you can. It's in our True-Hybrid lineup because it's made to work alongside other cooking setups, gas grills included, in a full outdoor kitchen. Lots of customers put it right next to their gas grill so they have gas for quick cooks and charcoal for that smoky flavor when they want it.

Q
If I have a problem with this charcoal grill, what warranty and support do I get?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Coverage details are on our warranty page. If you run into anything, contact us with your order number and we'll help with troubleshooting or replacement parts.
