Coyote C3CO50 50-inch Combo Grill Install Guide
The C3CO50 pairs a 4-burner main grill with a dedicated side cook surface in a single 50-inch cutout. Install combines the SL-Series lift-assist process with an auxiliary gas routing to the second cook head. Allocate a longer afternoon than a single C-Series.

What you need
- Standard CL/SL install tools
- Second gas tee (for the dual-zone manifold)
- Extra zip ties for the multi-run tubing
Step by step
Cut to the C3CO50 specific cutout (not two separate holes)
It's a single wider cutout with the combo housing dropping in as one unit.
Standard dry-fit and clearance confirmation
Both lift-assist hoods need to clear independently.
Gas supply branches to both cook heads
Soap-test the tee and each branch independently. If one side bubbles, isolate and reseat.
Measure inlet pressure at both cook heads
A manometer reading at each inlet tells you if the supply line is sized correctly. 7-11 in WC NG, 11-14 in WC LP. If one side is low, the supply line is undersized for combined draw.
Separate burn-offs per cook head
Run main grill 30 minutes, then side head 30 minutes. Each cook head has its own break-in profile.
Common mistakes
- Using the C-Series cutout instead of the combo cutout. Different hole, different mounting lip. Don't eyeball.
- Undersized combined gas supply. Two cook heads running simultaneously is 150,000+ BTU. Your gas line better supply it.
Hands-on tips
- If you'll run both heads simultaneously often, consider a second gas regulator (one per head) for more stable pressure.
- Dry-fit the hoods both open — the C3CO50 pivot distance is tight on some surround designs.
Questions people ask
Can I run only one head at a time?
Yes. Each head has an independent control panel and ignition.
Is this a hybrid like the C3HY50?
No — both heads are gas. The C3HY50 is gas + charcoal; the C3CO50 is gas + gas with different cooking surfaces.
