Versatile grill, solid build

This 42 inch hybrid is a beast. I love switching between gas for quick weeknight meals and charcoal or wood for that smoky flavor on weekends. Feels really sturdy, should last a long time in my outdoor kitchen.

Clay E.★★★★☆March 12, 2014
Great for entertaining

We host a lot and this grill has made it so much easier. I can sear steaks on the gas side while slow cooking ribs over charcoal on the other. Great for doing a couple cooking styles at once, and the size is perfect for feeding a crowd.

Tom★★★☆☆January 11, 2017
Good, but there's a learning curve

It's a solid grill and the hybrid idea is awesome. But getting the hang of cooking with charcoal and gas at the same time took more practice than I expected to get temps right across the whole grate. It's a premium grill, just be ready to spend some time learning it.

Brent W.★★★★★August 10, 2009
Everything I wanted

This grill is everything I wanted in an outdoor cooking setup. Being able to use gas, charcoal or wood with two zones is brilliant, and the materials are really good quality. My BBQ has gotten a lot better.

Riley I.★★★☆☆July 25, 2017
Decent, but pricey

Grill performs well and the hybrid setup is handy for different kinds of cooking. But for over $6000 I expected the ash removal on the charcoal side to be easier to use. It's a good grill, just a big investment.

Questions & answers

5 questions answered

Q
Can I run gas and charcoal at the same time, or is it one or the other?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
You can use both. It has two separate cooking zones, so you can run gas on one side for quick searing or indirect heat and charcoal or wood on the other for real smoke flavor. That lets you cook different ways at the same time.

Q
What's this grill made of? Will it hold up in Florida?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and rust well, even near the coast like in Florida. The grates are heavy-duty stainless too, for durability and even heat. Take care of it and use a good cover, and it'll look and cook great for many years.

Q
How do you get the charcoal ash out? Is it a pain?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's easy. Each charcoal and wood zone has an ash tray that slides out from the front or bottom, so you can empty it quickly without a mess. On the gas side, clean it like any grill: brush the grates and wipe it down with a stainless steel cleaner.

Q
Is this hybrid grill hard to install?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
For an outdoor kitchen appliance it's pretty straightforward. You'll connect it to a gas line (natural gas or propane, depending on your model) and make sure it has proper ventilation, especially for the charcoal and wood side. We always recommend a pro for gas hookups for safety and performance, but detailed instructions are included if you want to do it yourself.

Q
What's the warranty like on this grill? I want to be covered on something this pricey.Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Coverage details are on our warranty page. If anything goes wrong, contact us with your order number and we'll help with the issue or a claim.
