I haven't actually taken a tape measure to it, but if I had to guess its about 15 inches. It stands about waist level to me and I'm 5'6". I think if someone stole this or I lost it for whatever lawless reason I would probably cry. Simply because I've never seen another one like it and I've spent hours searching through every BBQ and grilling forum Google could come up with. And for $15, I love it to proverbial pieces!!
