Sophia & William Propane Gas Grill and Griddle Combo with Porcelain-Enameled Cast Iron Grates, Dual Outdoor BBQ Grill with Flat Top Griddle for Barbecue, 696 SQ.IN. Cooking Area

What’s a nice grill. Perfect
Summer is coming, and I have always wanted to buy a barbecue grill. This one just meets my needs perfectly. It not only has a small table top for seasonings, ingredients, etc., but also a side stove, which is very convenient for cooking soup and heating sauces. The oven is also equipped with an iron plate, so you don’t have to worry about small items like grilled shrimps and vegetables falling into the oven. The most important thing is that it has several fire switches, which can control the heat of each area individually, making it very convenient to use. The overall operation is simple and the space is large enough. The family can get together and chat while grilling, and the atmosphere is perfect. A very satisfying shopping!

Standard grill, decent cooking area, but with poor finish and lightweight materials and paint.
Edit: The gas tank hole is too close to the width of the tank’s round base, so there’s no give. Added two photos showing this. Doesn’t even look like 1/16 gap. I have two tanks, same brand. They’re the type you trade in for full ones at the big hardware stores. One of my tanks fits fine, the other doesn’t due to the fact that tank’s round base is not perfectly round. So when I go trade in my tanks soon, I will have to take a template to check the tank’s base roundness. And the wheel mounts are bending because of poor welding and support at the legs. See the video for details. Dropped to one star and would return this if it wasn’t practically impossible to ship back.Original review:We needed to replace our 14 year old bigbox store grill as it was literally starting to fall apart from within. I was looking for something a bit smaller and with a griddle option, and the 4-burner grill seemed to fit the bill nicely.At this pricepoint, it was comparable to the basic grills available at the bigbox stores, and I just didn’t want to purchase a prebuilt unit that had been sitting exposed to the weather and covered in bird raindrops since March.The grill arrived in a sturdy boxed and was well packaged. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to take a photo of the unpacking process, but the left and right sides were protected by thin pieces of plywood and the front and back were protected by 3/4 inch thich pieces of cardboard. Overall, the box was well put together except for the fact it really could have used some protection at the bottom – maybe another piece of plywood to protect the bottom during shipping (two bottom edges were crushed in).As I unpacked the parts, each one was wrapped in plastic or in a plastic bag. Most items were intact and clean, except for a couple of pieces that were either dented slightly as they were close to the edge, or from being banged around during transit. As the metal is fairly thin, I was able to easily fix the issue without damage.First – a couple of tips.* Lay all your parts out and confirm nothing is missing. Some things were packaged differently than I expected, so I initially thought I was missing parts, but everything was in there.* Manual says to use a Phillips screw driver. Most of us have the standard “small” PH1 phillips and “medium” PH2 Phillips screwdrivers. You need the thick PH3 one to properly tighten the big screws, which are 95% of them. Once I switched to the PH3 tip, I could easily drive and tighten the screws with ease.Assembly was very easy for me, as I’ve built countless complicated furniture-in-a-box pieces, grills and other equipment. I took my sweet time as I was alone and in no hurry, got it done in about an hour and a half. Maybe with a helper, it would have taken closer to an hour or less. That said, the manual is mostly pictures, and it really could have used some text explaining some assembly steps. In several spots, it really should have at least said “this way up”.As for looks – from afar it looks good. Clean design, matte black finish, and compact. I like that a lot. But when you get up close you start noticing all the rookie cuts and welds. It’s like someone was cutting some of these edges with a blunt instrument with a hand tied behind their back, and doing “good enough” welding. I included multiple photos of different cuts and welds that easily show this. Some of the chrome parts should have also been “flat” like the black paint itself. In this case, the chromed handle bar and thermometer almost look out of place.Cabinet doors are simple to install, but you might have to twist them up a bit to get them to flatten out after shipping. It’s easier to do after they’re installed and you can see whether it’s at the top or bottom that needs to be aligned with the magnet. A little twist here and there, and both doors were closing and flush to the cabinet without issue.The cooking area layout is good, with the built-in griddle on the side. I know it’s a small griddle area, but most often I am in need of just that when grilling – meat and large vegetables to the left, and onions or shrimp on the right. Can’t wait to see how well the setup works.Issues I see with the cooking area are the fact that the supports for the deflectors is extremely flimsy. I can’t imagine those lasting more than a few years, as they’re just painted thin metal tabs. And although I can purchase generic deflectors, if there’s nothing to hold them in place, then that becomes a problem. Burners look good overall, thick and sturdy. And the joiners to carry the flame from one burner to the other are a solid piece all across, so that’s better than multiple independent pieces between each one.Grease pan is a wedge design, not flat, which I like much better as there’s less of a chance of things just accumulating. I am a bit concerned about how well the grease cup will stay in place as the clip to attach it to the pan has nothing from preventing it from falling off. I might add a thumb screw or something to prevent it from just sliding off.Side burner is a nice feature, though I rarely use it. But the metal hose that connects the gas to the side burner is a much better option than the rubber hose ones I’ve seen with other grills. Super easy to connect and disconnect if needed.Thermometer doesn’t look like all that, but I have another I can compare to for accuracy, even replace it if needed.And I do like the non-lifting shelf tray and the fact it’s not a standard cheap rod shelf, but a flat slotted sheet of metal. It’s also easy to remove it to get it out of the way when cooking a large item.As for the durability of the grill – we’ll see. Most of the exposed metal is fairly flimsy, even when compared to other grills in the same price range. As with my old grill, I will keep this one covered when not in use. I truly don’t expect it to last 14 years as my current one, but if I get over 5 years out of it, I will be happy.Overall, I rated it 3 stars based on the finish, welding and flimsiness of some of the materials, but if I could, I’d also rate it 5 for the cooking layout, the grease pan arrangement, burners and the knobs.

Awesome Grill for Weekend BBQs
This grill is amazing! I love that it has both gas and charcoal, so I can choose how I want to cook. It heats up fast and the cooking space is huge—plenty of room for burgers, steak, and veggies all at once. The side burner is super useful too. We’ve had friends over a few times already, and everyone loves the food. It feels solid and easy to use, definitely worth the price. Perfect for family dinners and weekend BBQ parties.
