Know before you buy
The one-inch thick ceramic walls provide superior thermal mass, which allows the grill to hold heat exceptionally well. This makes it much easier to maintain steady, consistent temperatures for long smoking sessions or high-heat searing compared to thin-walled metal grills.
The cooking area is designed to accommodate approximately 13 burgers at one time. It is well-suited for small to medium-sized family meals, though you may need to cook in batches for larger gatherings.
Temperature is managed using the dual-vent system located at the top and bottom of the grill. By adjusting these vents, you control the airflow to the charcoal, allowing you to dial in precise temperatures for everything from low-and-slow smoking to intense searing.
While the diamond laser-cut stainless steel grate is durable, it is best cleaned by brushing it while the grill is still warm or soaking it in warm, soapy water. Avoid the dishwasher to prevent potential damage to the finish and to ensure the grate remains properly seasoned.
Yes, the Coyote Asado is available in both freestanding and built-in configurations. If you choose the built-in model, ensure your island structure is built to accommodate the specific dimensions and weight of the ceramic unit.
The grill includes the essential accessories to get started, such as the stainless steel cooking grate, an ash tool for cleanup, and ceramic feet for stability. You will only need to provide your own charcoal and lighting materials.
