How much food can I cook on this 14" tabletop grill?

The grill provides 196 square inches of cooking surface—enough room for burgers, chicken breasts, or a few steaks in one batch. Its round grate layout makes it efficient for direct-heat cooking and arranging multiple items without crowding.

Can I control temperature for different cook styles?

• Two adjustable vents for quick airflow changes
• Suitable for searing, grilling, or gentler indirect cooking
• Ash base helps keep coals tidy while preserving air pathways

What materials and finishes improve durability?
