Our take on the Optimal Steel Grill with Lid
The Optimal is a steel grill with a lid that burns wood or charcoal and cooks either on skewers or on a grill grate. Its standout feature is the QuadFix system, which holds skewers in four positions and lets you turn them while cooking, so you can rotate meat without lifting the lid or reaching over the fire. At 59.52 lb with 0.118 in steel walls and side handles, it is a sturdy, mostly stationary unit rather than a portable one. That puts it against lighter kettle and barrel grills that are easier to move but offer no built-in skewer control.
- QuadFix holds skewers in four positions and turns them during cooking
- Runs on wood or charcoal
- Lid covers the cook chamber for retained heat
- 0.118 in steel is thicker than typical entry-level grills
- Side handles help with moving it
- Heat-resistant painted coating on the metal
- 59.52 lb makes it hard to move alone
- Long, narrow footprint limits grate area for large cuts
- No listed vents, dampers or thermometer for heat control
- Skewer-focused design is less versatile than a full grate grill

Questions and answers
- Can it cook on a normal grill grate, or only skewers?
- Both. The grill is built for skewers or a grill grate, so you can use the QuadFix skewer positions or lay a grate over the fire.
- Does it use charcoal, wood, or both?
- Either. The grill is designed to burn wood or charcoal as fuel.
- How big is it and how heavy?
- It measures 28.74 × 11.81 × 33.46 in and weighs 59.52 lb. The 33.46 in figure is the height with the lid.
- How thick is the steel?
- The listed steel thickness is 0.118 in, roughly 3 mm, which is heavier gauge than most budget grills.
- Can I move it around the yard?
- Side handles help with lifting, but at 59.52 lb it is best moved by two people or left in place.
- How does it compare with a kettle grill?
- It gives you built-in skewer rotation and a lid, but a kettle is lighter and usually has more grate area for burgers and whole cuts.
