Sophia & William Extra Large Charcoal BBQ Grills with 794 SQ.IN. Cooking Area, Heavy Duty Outdoor Barbecue Grill with 2 Individual Lifting Charcoal Tray and 2 Foldable Side Table, Black

This charcoal grill is very well made and feels sturdy right out of the box. The heavy-duty steel construction gives it a premium feel, and it stays stable while cooking. Assembly was straightforward, and all the parts lined up nicely. The cooking space is generous, with a main grate plus a warming rack, making it easy to grill for family or small gatherings. I really like the adjustable charcoal trays—being able to control the heat by raising or lowering them makes a big difference and gives you much better temperature control than basic charcoal grills.

I’ve been researching charcoal grills for several months, and this grill checked all the boxes for me. The dual-sided, divided grilling area is exactly what I wanted, and it gives great flexibility when cooking different foods at the same time. I especially appreciate the smart design that allows for easy and thorough cleaning after using charcoal, which is something I always look for in a charcoal grill. I also own a gas grill, but the flavor you get from charcoal grilling is on a completely different level gas just can’t compare. This grill delivers excellent heat control, great taste, and solid overall quality. I’m very happy with this purchase. Thank you for such a well made product! Highly recommended.

The BBQ is fantastic! I love how it has dual trays that can be raised and lowered, letting me create separate convection zones with different temperatures. The front doors are a game-changer — I can add or manage charcoal mid-cook without losing all the built-up heat. Assembly took about an hour, but I strongly recommend paying close attention to the instructions. Pro tip: make sure you notice the tiny diagram showing how the drawer slides in before installing the two platforms — it’ll save you a headache. Another tip: fire it up to 350°F for a few hours and let it cool completely before your first cook. This helps the metal settle into its new environment. While it’s hot, also test raising and lowering the platforms so you know how they handle under heat. Overall, this grill has been a joy to use and feels well thought out in both design and function.

Okay so I put this bbqer together literally yesterday. It too me a good 2 hrs. A lot of comments in reviews on the assembly. This will challenge some. The coal tray install is the step that will require you to look at the assembly guide closely. The lid hinge pieces took me some time to realize the wider pieces are on lid and the narrow ones are on the bottom. Other thean that it is not too bad. As mentioned, it does have a assembly guide with photos how it goes together but it does not have many detailed written instructions to go with it. The quality of materials is okay better than some but cheaper than others in this price range. The tray height adjustments scews seem cluncky but they work ok. It looks nice cosmeticly.

Just received it and used it once. The grill looks great, feels solid for the price, and the adjustable charcoal height is very easy to use. Food had nice charcoal flavor, assembly was simple, and there was no unpleasant smell. With Christmas coming up, it’s perfect for family gatherings—the large cooking space easily handles cooking for a crowd.

What I like, keeping in mind I haven’t actually cooked on this grill yet. I literally assembled it and then wrote this review: 1. Large cooking space 2. Charcoal tray can raise and lower with a crank. This means I can adjust the position of the fire even after I’ve started it. 3. The tables on the side fold down. 4. The side tables have four hooks each, so there’s plenty of places to hang tools, etc. while cooking. 5. Warming tray in the lid. 6. Adjustable side vents and a “chimney” with an adjustable cover in the lid. 7. Built-in thermometer in the lid. 8. It looks sharp! What I’m disappointed about. 1. The lid has a small dent in it. See pictures. 2. The “adjustable” vents on the side are a joke. They’re either open or closed. Manufacturer needs to find a better design for this. Rather than using a locking nut, how about a standard nut with a washer or rubber ring? 3. The grilling grates seem pretty flimsy. I’m sure I’ll be replacing them soon. The grill I’m replacing had much heavier grates. They don’t fit in this grill though. 😞 4. While there’s clearly been thought put into the design (folding side tables with hooks, bottle opener, warming tray, etc.), they all seem pretty cheap and flimsy, with the exception of the side tables. 5. I don’t think the warming tray will even be usable. I couldn’t understand how it was supposed to work. In the picture with the lid up, you’ll see my initial guess at how it should be installed. This is wrong, so if you DO buy this grill, do not go by my picture to see how to install the warming tray. The lid didn’t close. I made an adjustment, and I think I’ve got it right now, but I still don’t understand how it doesn’t just collapse when you put food on it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6. One of the adjustable trays doesn’t work perfectly. I have to turn the crank and then push the tray down. It works fine if you’re raising it. If you buy it, and I’m not saying you shouldn’t, have someone help you put it together. I spent almost four hours putting it together by myself. And there were times when I really wanted some help. After all is said and done, I’m excited to try it! I’ll update this review with any other important insights.

Over the years I've purchased thousands of items through Amazon -- including some very high-ticket items. Almost every one has been very satisfactory. Not this grill, however -- I've never seen a cheaper, more flimsily constructed pile of scrap metal. As I was assembling the grill, I noticed that the gauge of metal used was quite thin. Once I had it put together, I pulled out the grills. They are made of cheap black wire. I had purchased a relatively inexpensive grill from Home Depot about nine years ago -- the grills for that grill were heavy cast iron. But, I thought "In for a penny . . ." and, about two weeks later fired it up for the first time. Here's a list of problems: the hinged top of the grill does not meet the lower part in the way it should. (This is not a mistake in assembly -- just poorly made.) The bun rack simply made no sense at all -- there are mounting holes, but they don't function. If you close the lid of the grill, the bun rack dives headlong into the food. The poorly translated instructions that came with the grill simply said, "Put the bun rack into the holes." And finally, the lid of the grill has begun to corrode even though I've only owned it for two months. (And I purchased a separate heavy-duty cover to protect the grill from the elements.) It is too late for me to return this -- and given the size of the box, it would be a real ordeal to send it back. So please heed my warning -- don't even think about buying this grill -- unless you want a pile of black metal rusting away on your patio.

I recently replaced my old, rusty grill with this one, and the difference is absolutely staggering. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a completely new grilling experience. ​First off, it's big—perfect for entertaining or cooking the whole meal at once. The real stars of the show are the features. The two separate cooking zones make indirect heat and simultaneous searing effortless, and the adjustable charcoal tray height allows for instant, precise temperature control. ​Adding to the convenience, the folding side tables (one on each side) are a lifesaver for holding sauces, spices, and prep platters—no more juggling! And a brilliant little touch that shows real thought: the built-in bottle opener means you never have to leave the grill to grab a cold one. ​The Only Suggestion for a 10/10 Product: ​The only thing that would make this purchase absolutely perfect and a no-brainer is the inclusion of a fitted grill cover. If they added that, this grill would truly be a 10-star product. Even without it, I highly suggest this purchase and will be recommending it to all my friends and family
