The Char-Broil 18-1/2-inch charcoal kettle grill is everything you need for your basic backyard barbecue. It has 261 square inch of cooking space, on a porcelain-coated cooking grate. The porcelain enamel finish on the lid and bottom, add protection from the elements. We do recommend using a grill cover to extend the life cycle and to prevent unnecessary wear and tear. 60502
