A round grate of 147 sq in is about 13.7 inches across, so a single chimney of charcoal covers half of it for a two-zone fire. It is 6 sq in larger than the Ninja Woodfire OG701 (141 sq in), which fits 5 burgers per batch against 5 here, so for a 10-guest party the two cook the same number of batches.
