Coyote Outdoor Living C1EL120SM-FS Grill Review
Our verdict
The Coyote C1EL120SM-FS is the freestanding version of Coyote's electric grill, priced at $948 and measuring 16 x 18 x 45 inches tall with the stand. With just one Amazon review at 5 stars, buyer data is essentially nonexistent, but the freestanding format solves the built-in installation requirement of the base C1EL120SM.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
["The Coyote C1EL120SM-FS is a freestanding electric grill from Coyote Outdoor Living, measuring 16 x 18 x 45 inches including the stand. The stainless steel construction is consistent with Coyote's broader outdoor kitchen line. No cooking area, burner count, or wattage figures are available in the current specs.", 'The key difference from the built-in C1EL120SM is the freestanding format. At 45 inches tall, this is a grill on legs rather than a drop-in unit for an outdoor kitchen island. That makes it more accessible for renters, people without a built-in outdoor kitchen, or anyone who wants the option to move the grill around the patio.', "The $948 price is $319 more than the built-in C1EL120SM at $629, with the premium going toward the freestanding cart. The single 5-star review gives no meaningful signal about quality or reliability at this price. Coyote's brand standing in the outdoor kitchen space adds some confidence, but buyers should consult additional sources."]

Performance notes
Fuel type is electric. No BTU, wattage, burner count, or cooking area figures are available. The stainless steel body with freestanding stand measures 16 x 18 x 45 inches. No weight is listed. The freestanding install type means no countertop cutout is required. Electrical requirements are not published in the available specs. Contact Coyote or check the product page for circuit amperage before purchasing.
What buyers say
One review at 5.0 stars tells you nothing useful about this grill's real-world performance over time. The absence of meaningful review data at a $948 price point is a real concern. If Coyote's outdoor kitchen quality carries over to this unit, early buyers have been pleased, but that is a thin basis for confidence at this price.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Coyote C1EL120SM and the C1EL120SM-FS?
The C1EL120SM is a built-in model designed to drop into a countertop cutout in an outdoor kitchen island, priced at $629. The C1EL120SM-FS adds a freestanding cart, brings the total height to 45 inches, and is priced at $948. The cooking head appears to be the same unit. The FS version is the right choice if you do not have or want a built-in outdoor kitchen.
Does the freestanding cart lock or anchor in place?
No locking or anchoring information is available in the current product specs. Freestanding outdoor kitchen grills at this weight class often include locking casters for stability. Check the product page for details on mobility and stability features before buying, especially if you plan to use it on a deck with elevation.
Is this grill appropriate for a balcony in a building that prohibits open flames?
Electric grills are commonly used in buildings that prohibit gas and charcoal because they produce no open flame. Always verify with your building management or HOA that electric grilling appliances are permitted on your specific balcony or patio. The freestanding format makes it easy to move indoors when not in use, which can help with building compliance requirements.
