Bison Premium Drop-In Charcoal Grill Head

The Bull Bison Premium is a built-in charcoal grill head with an adjustable charcoal bed and gasketed firebox, offering 575 sq in of primary cooking area.

$2,029Approx. MSRP

A decent pick for a beginner moving from a basic kettle to a built-in charcoal grill with real versatility, but the hood-seal leak means it won't hold smoke or temperature as tightly as a dedicated smoker — skip if precise low-and-slow control is your main goal.

Pros

  • Full stainless steel construction with a durable single-piece hood
  • Adjustable charcoal tray and three separate charcoal bins allow dual heat-zone cooking
  • Firebox and grates backed by a 5-year warranty, longer than most charcoal competitors at this price
  • Loads of cooking room — 751 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Built to last (304 stainless steel (14-gauge))

Watch-outs

  • Leaky hood seal undermines low-and-slow temperature control
  • Ash pan is heavy and fiddly to service
  • Small warming rack
  • Premium price ($2,029)

Known niggles

  • Hood-to-base seal reported to leak, hurting temperature control and smoke retention
  • Ash box described as heavy and awkward to remove/reinstall, and doesn't fully cover the area beneath the grates so debris still needs manual scraping
  • Grill grates reported as sticky/prone to food sticking
