Coyote Asado Built-In Ceramic Cooker (C1CHCS)
Strictest install rules — Coyote's ceramic cooker for its own islands: a 304 stainless smoking grate, 254 sq in, a 22½ in round cutout — and the only spec sheet here that forbids a combustible island outright and wants 24 in to anything combustible, up and sideways

Pros
- The clearest combustibles rule on the page: no combustible island, 24 in to combustibles in every direction, 8 in behind for the hood
- A 304 stainless smoking grate as standard
- Sold on Amazon by BBQGuys, one of the largest specialist grill dealers
Cons
- One owner rating on Amazon, and it has no written review behind it
- No credentialed test of the Asado found anywhere
- The 24-in rule applies vertically too — no wood pergola or lanai ceiling within two feet of the frame
- The ceramic-lifetime term we could read is BBQGuys' copy of Coyote's; Coyote's own warranty page lists its gas-grill parts and not the Asado
- 254 sq in costs the same as the Primo LG's 300
No written owner reviews exist. The documented catch is Coyote's own install sheet: no combustible island, 24 in to combustibles in every direction including overhead.
