Source: amazingribs.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by consumerreports.org. The official Vision Grills product page (visiongrills.com/kamado-grill-models/professional-s-series/) was unreachable during fetching (repeated connection failures on the apex host and an HTTP 409 bot block on the www host), so the dated AmazingRibs.com expert review is the primary fetched source. It names the exact model "Professional S-Series Kamado", lists the item price as $849.00 (marked "*Price Subject To Change"), and states 302 sq in primary and 302 sq in secondary cooking areas, ceramic construction, a powder-coated stand on four casters, fold-down wood side shelves, two-level hinged stainless grates, and a lifetime ceramic warranty (recorded as null per methodology). Consumer Reports' page for the "Vision Kamado Professional S-T4C1D1" corroborates the same grill: exterior material "Ceramic with wood shelves", fold-down shelves = Yes, an accessory (secondary) rack, and warranty "Limited lifetime (ceramic), 5 (metal parts)"; Amazon's listing (part number S-4C1D1, "Kamado Pro Ceramic Charcoal Grill") further confirms this ceramic charcoal S-Series SKU. Total cooking area, grate diameter, wall thickness, max temperature, and body-only weight (Amazon's 191 lb figure includes the cart) were not stated verbatim on the fetched pages and are left null; airLiftHinge is false because the review describes a heavy manual hood with a shock-absorbing bumper, not a spring-assisted or counterweighted hinge.
