* The maker lists only total area (main grate plus racks), so the main grate is smaller.
A full 20 lb hopper runs roughly 10–20 hours at smoking heat (1–2 lb per hour, our estimate), so an overnight cook fits on one fill. It is 32 sq in larger than the Oklahoma Joe's Highland Offset (616 sq in), which fits 23 burgers per batch against 24 here.
