The Hancock Grills Sterling 40" Corten Steel Wood Fired Grill is a large, open-fire grill designed for cooking over real wood or charcoal using adjustable cooking zones. It is built for outdoor cooks who appreciate traditional live-fire techniques and want a substantial cooking surface for entertaining, family gatherings, or culinary experimentation.

It solves a challenge common with conventional grills: achieving authentic wood-fired flavor while maintaining control over heat levels. The open-fire format allows cooks to manage multiple heat zones, move food as needed, and cook everything from steaks and vegetables to slow-roasted cuts over live embers.

Over the long term, the Sterling stands out for its use of Corten steel, a material that forms a protective patina that resists corrosion and weathering. Combined with a heavy-duty structure and a simple, mechanical design, it is built for years of outdoor use with minimal maintenance.

This grill is for you if:

● You want authentic wood-fired cooking using real flame and embers
● You enjoy managing heat zones and cooking over live fire
● You regularly cook for family gatherings or outdoor entertaining
● You appreciate durable materials designed for outdoor environments
● You prefer a grill that requires no electricity or complex components

This grill is not for you if:

● You want push-button ignition or automated temperature control
● You prefer propane or pellet grills for convenience cooking
● You want a compact grill for small patios or limited spaces
● You prefer enclosed-lid grilling rather than open-fire cooking

Common Questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often.

Corten steel is designed to develop a protective rust-like patina that helps shield the underlying steel from corrosion, making it well suited for outdoor applications.

Live-fire grills benefit from normal cooking oiling of grates and routine ash removal. Specific preparation steps are not specified by the manufacturer.

Yes. Charcoal can be used, and many cooks combine charcoal with wood for flavor and heat control.

Temperature is managed by adjusting fuel placement and cooking height. Many cooks find this intuitive after a short learning period.

Corten steel is designed for outdoor exposure, but covering the grill when not in use may help reduce buildup of debris and moisture.

Seasoned hardwoods such as oak, hickory, or fruitwoods are commonly used for cooking over live fire.
