* The maker lists only total area (main grate plus racks), so the main grate is smaller.
How we calculate
- Cooking area is the main grate from each maker's spec page (total area when the maker lists only that).
- Burgers per batch = 85% of the area ÷ 18 sq in per 4-oz patty × 0.8 packing (0.9 on a griddle).
- Guests in 45 minutes: the largest party whose food finishes inside one 45-minute serving window, with 2 burgers or 1.5 chicken pieces per guest (35 minutes per chicken batch).
