Hi JJ! I don't know how thick the steel is, but it's not that thick. In my opinion, it's much better than other products in its class, but it is definitely not as thick as products that are two or three times more expensive. This is a great grill for a beginner that still works great for a pro. Here's a link if you'd like to find out more about it. www.chargriller.com/collections/charcoal-grills/products/smokinchamp
