Though we have a variety of recommendations across various styles, all of our picks satisfy criteria that suit most people, thereby reducing the confusion of choice.

It works okay when you need a quick shelf when tending to your food that is cooking. It is designed to store the upper smokefire cooking rack. When paired with the optional side shelf & righthand table, there’s more than enough space for trays & tools. The handle takes up enough space that the shelf is rendered useless when closed. It provides extra space for tools, platters, and cutting boards.
The handle on the lid overhangs the shelf by about a third, so if you have something on the shelf when closing the lid they will tangle up. Really like that they fold down & have the hooks underneath to hold/store the grills upper rack is ingenious.

Installation was simple & pretty quick
You can make wood-fire pizza, grill, and slow cook
