How much space is there from the grill surface to the top of the lid? I'd like to grill corn on the cob and wonder if there's enough room with lid?

The grill is great and we don't want to be without one, but there is not enough room to grill corn with the lid on it.

About 2". No need really to catch fat. The coals burn it off. Never had that problem. The best things about this grill is that (1) you can cook more on it because it's rectangular, and (2) it closes up for storage and travel. I keep the tongs & lighter fluid inside for travel. One issue I have with it is that it gets hotter on one end even though all vents are opened equally. Never have figured that out. Hope that answers your question.

my grill is 57" wide and there is a good 5" of extra room on the end it is plenty tall enough for any grill that I have ever seen. I hope this helps

Hi Kim, I have a Kenmore grill. the main part of my grill is 48" tall and 28" wide. It has a burner on the left side that extends out 15" and is 36" high. There is a shelf on the right side that is also 15" and 36" high. This cover does a nice job of covering this grill and extends almost down to the deck. The cover is made of a heavy vinyl material. It is pretty much water proof however there are two seams that would need to be treated with seam seal like on a tent to make it fully water repellent. I am very happy with this product.Mike

Sorry to take so long to answer your ? , but the grill is in my RV. The chain attaches from the lid to the body of the grill to keep the lid from going back too far. This is a great grill. It gets hot enough to put a char on a steak if you like. I used it all last summer on a long trip. No problems.

I am not sure what you are asking because your question is not clear, but I thought you were asking about the size of the unit. It is a little more than fifteen inches long by fifteen inches wide, and is eight high. With the post and grill in place it is fifty inches high. I put the post in a concrete base and from the ground up, it stands about thirty-four inches. I have used it many times since I purchased it, and if you are looking for a basic charcoal grill with moderate space for food, this fits the bill. Do not buy the cover for it. It lasted less than the end of the summer, and was not worth the fifteen dollar expense. Get a cover at a place that sells barbecues. The Weber cover for their kettle barbecue fits.

I am 5' 10" and the cooking surface of the grill is higher than my waist. I am guessing somewhere in the ballpark of 35".

Marty, Generally speaking the space between the top of the burners and the bottom of the ventilation-style microwave is 18-24 inches. There may be requirements in your state. Thanks Melanie

I just measured and it's 2'4" I use the Maxi on top of my counter with a marble cutting board under it. It's close to the wall but there has been no spatter at all in the two times I've used it for steak. I plan to try burgers later this week or next so we'll see how they do. This is the first grill I've really liked.

It is not deep enough to fit logs AND grill on top of the cooking grill at the same time. As far as cooking is concerned, I have been told not to burn coals on it, but I ignored the warnings and have cooked on it with hot coals more then once and it did not ruin my pit so far.

The grill grate is about 8 inches inside the barrel. The charcoal is about 20 inches below the below the grate. This makes it harder to turn your burgers and steaks than a standard grill. I don't expect you can get a good sear either due to the distance from the coals. I don't use it for things I want to cook fast.

I just gave it a test, you should be able to fit 7 , 3-1/2 inch wide burgers on the grill. I used ramekins and 3 per side were comfortable, one in center.

it's just shy of 8" wide and the bottom part is also shy of 8". The basket is only about 4" deep. It is not a huge pot. You cannot fit a corn on the cob in there, but you can fit a bunch of cut up carrot or broccoli. I use the bottom without the basket to make enough pasta for two or three people. Hope that helps. It's a nice sturdy pot and you can pop it in the dishwasher!

On the lowest setting from bottom to grill is almost 10 inches. From the bottom grate to the top grill is over 8 inches... we use regular 1/4 pieces of wood just fine.

Hi..they say it's 275 sq. In. Of cooking surface. My biggest worry when I bought it was damn it's gonna be small , but let me tell you it's pretty big for a compact grill you can take anywhere . I have an RV and it's definitely one of the Best thing I have bought ...Good Luck

Yes, its an ok grill. I think one of the problems is that it loses alot of heat through the top. Wish Char-Broil would put a reflector insert under the hood. I'm not impatient to get my food done, but the longer I leave burgers on the grill below 350 the drier they are. I'm thinking of putting heat reflecting tape on the inside and maybe outside. That may help. of course I may end up poisoning my family

I keep a 18.5" x 10.5" metal camping grill in the main compartment and there is an additional .5 inch of clearance all the way around. This pack is large. My problem is putting too much stuff in there. I also have a tent and a sleeping bag in the main compartment with the grill.
