The Cal Flame G Series (SKU BBQ18G870) is an 800 sq in built-in charcoal grill designed for permanent outdoor kitchen installations. It is built for the backyard cook who wants a large, dedicated charcoal cooking station integrated into a countertop or island surround. The grill features 430 stainless steel 16-gauge construction, four removable heavy-duty V-grates, and a crank-handle adjustable charcoal tray for direct heat control without tools.

Why This Built-In Charcoal Grill

Large cooking capacity for groups — 800 sq in of primary cooking surface accommodates multiple cuts simultaneously.

Direct heat control without guesswork — a crank-handle system raises or lowers the charcoal tray to increase or reduce heat output at the source.

Built for permanent installation — cut-out dimensions of 30 7/8" W x 22" D x 9 1/2" H fit standard outdoor kitchen island openings; overall unit is 31 3/4" W x 20 7/8" D x 22 7/16" H.

Temperature monitoring included — a built-in temperature gauge lets you track cooking chamber temperature without lifting the lid.

Grease management built in — a handle crank splash guard contains grease and reduces flare-up risk during cooking.
