Know before you buy
The Cypress Leaf finish is a handcrafted exterior texture that makes every unit visually distinct. Because of this artisanal process, no two grills have the exact same color pattern or finish.
The thick ceramic walls act as a high-performance insulator that retains heat exceptionally well. This creates an internal environment that seals in moisture while allowing heat to circulate evenly, which is ideal for everything from searing steaks to slow-smoking briskets.
No, the grill arrives with the lid, body, and hinge pre-assembled. You will primarily need to attach the bamboo side shelves and handle to get started.
This grill is highly versatile and supports four main cooking styles: direct grilling, traditional BBQ, slow smoking, and baking. The included ceramic inserts help you manage heat distribution for these different techniques.
While the grill itself is a 22-inch model, the primary cooking area is 19 inches in diameter. This provides ample space for most family-sized meals and standard grilling setups.
The grill features a built-in stainless steel thermometer mounted on the lid. It provides a reliable way to track the internal temperature without needing to open the lid and lose heat.
