How much space does a 28 inch cart grill actually need?
The 28 inches in a 28 inch cart grill describes the cooking surface, not the whole unit. Side shelves commonly add a foot or more on each side, so plan for four to five feet of clear width plus room to open the lid and walk behind it. Measure before ordering.
What fuel options come in the 28 inch cart grill size?
28-inch cart grills come in gas, wood pellet and flat-top griddle formats. The Bonfire three-burner runs on natural gas or propane at 45,000 BTUs, the Coyote Next-Gen and Memphis Pro ITC3 are pellet grills, and the Blackstone Select is a griddle cart with three heat zones and a built-in hood.
Should I buy a gas or a pellet 28 inch cart grill?
Buy gas if you want heat in minutes and direct-flame searing; the Bonfire 28-inch three-burner lights fast and includes a rotisserie kit. Buy pellet if wood smoke flavor and low-and-slow control matter more, since the Memphis Pro ITC3 holds 180 to 650°F and the Coyote Next-Gen runs 175 to 700°F. See pellet cart grills.
How many people can a 28 inch cart grill serve?
A 28 inch cart grill feeds a family of four to six comfortably and handles a small gathering. The Coyote Next-Gen 28 offers 609 square inches of cooking surface, enough for a couple of racks of ribs or a full batch of burgers. Step up a size if you routinely cook for large crowds.
Does any 28 inch cart grill include a rotisserie?
Yes. The Bonfire 28-inch three-burner includes a rotisserie kit along with LED-lit control knobs. A rotisserie lets you roast whole chickens and larger cuts with the main burners turned down, keeping the grate surface free for everything else. Confirm what is included on the product page for the model you choose.
Do I have to install a 28 inch cart grill?
No. Every 28 inch cart grill here is freestanding on wheels: roll it into place, connect propane or natural gas, or plug in a pellet model's controller, and cook. No island, cutout or gas fitter required. If you later want more surface, compare 30-inch cart grills.
