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.
