Great purchase
We were super excited with this purchase. My husband has been wanting a smoker feature on his grill for a while, now. We found the grill very easy to assemble and it looks very impressive. The only thing is, my husband will have to modify it a bit where the smoker is concerned. It will need a seal around the box and some other modification for even distribution of heat, but that's a project i think he is looking forward too!! Oh, and be careful of the wheels, one of our broke when we were pushing it into place on the patio. Other than that, we can't wait to use it!!
Not the grill I thought it was
My grill is going into its 4th year and the gas firebox is almost completely rusted out. Since owning this grill I have had to replace the burners, the burner covers (flame diffusers), the grill's grates and the auto-start wiring. Yesterday the bar supporting the left grill rusted through and the grate fell onto the burner. There are several other rust spots starting on this grill. This grill has been covered with the manufacturer's recommended cover which has started to deteriorate and the inside lining has cracked in several places. I have been always careful to allow the grill to completely cool down before recovering it and I don't grill in the rain.
I bought this grill for my boyfriend less than 2 years ago. Within a year the metal that holds the cooking grate broke causing the cooking grate to fall. Within a matter of weeks the back of the grill blew out. There is now a hole in the back allowing air to come in making it impossible to hold any heat! About 6 months ago I did some research trying to contact the company and was not successful! We have now had to purchase another grill. Do not waste your money on this grill.... The metal is so thin it will not hold up!
Awesome backyard grillin' machine! A must have.
I have had this grill for about 3 months or so. Have been very impressed. First thing I did after setting it up was to make the recommended mods (find via google search) including getting a cover immediately. Has performed flawlessly. I will see how it does long term, but I seasoned it as the instructions recommend, and keep it clean and covered. Works well and provides great backyard cooking flexibility. Propane grill is excellent; I love the ability to cook over charcoal when desired (just tastes better!), and I used the offset smoker this weekend to make the best ribs I have ever made. Was easy to regulate the heat and I used a combo of charcoal briquettes and hickory logs (had to cut them in half to fit). Great product. LOVE IT. I have recommended this product to my 4 brothers.
not worth the money!
My grill came without the searing part, so I had to go back to get it. It only lasted maybe two uses and it quit. This grill has never done what it needed to do and now just 2 years later and only a couple times using it due to it being poor quality. I am now in search of a new one. I thought this would be a great gift for my husband so I saved up and bought it for a fathers day gift and wish I would have spent my money on something different.
Great grill for the money
Very nice grill lots of space on it and under for storage. Having the option to smoke, charcoal, or gas cook along with the searing option is great in one complete grill. Compared to prices of like products this is a great value for the money, assembly wasn't bad maybe had a couple hours into putting together very easy if follow instruction sheet.
Great idea but poor quality
I bought this grill about 2 years ago and was thrilled with its multi-function capabilities. I've used the smoker and charcoal grill several times a month and the gas grill several times a week. All parts of the grill have functioned average or slightly above average. The problem with the grill is that there is significant rust all over the grill with the worst rust in the gas grill portion. The flame deflectors completely rusted away and have been replaced but the worst part is that the grill box has rusted away and no longer supports the grate. The rust has occurred in spite of continual attempts I have made to prevent it. This is a good grill for about 2 years but will not last.
Very Poor Materials - no replacement parts
I was so excited with this grill. I finally had a smoker! We used the gas side most of the time, though. Unfortunately, although it was kept covered (with a Smoke hollow cover) and clean, the actual case of the gas side of the grill (which we used the most) totally rusted through within two years. Seems everyone has the same problem. It's a shame to throw away it away as the rest of mine is like new still. However there are no replacement parts that I can find (other than burners and grills). So, overall, this is a really great grill for about one or maybe two years, but plan on replacing about every other year.
Great value
I've had mine for around 5-6 years now. The metal is not very thick and the paint is not great. Ideally, you'd want to keep this out of the rain... I didn't. If you want a great deal and don't mind having a project grill after 3-4 years, this is a great grill for the price. After about 3-4 years, I spent around $200 to rebuild it, strip the rust and repaint, and replaced a lot of the hardware with stainless. It needs some minor modifications to be a better smoker, like some nomex to seal the charcoal and firebox lids. I also sealed the edges of the firebox at the 3-4 year mark with some jbweld extremeheat. I'd recommend looking for smoke leaks at first assembly, and sealing right away if you plan on smoking with it. The charcoal basket, heat deflector (under the firebox lid), and burner shields completely rusted out on mine after a few years but I replaced them with an expanded steel basket (cut and bent), a steel sheet (bent and drilled, stainless pop rivets), and stainless burner shields. While I'm really looking forward to buying a higher end smoker, this one turned out to be a great starter grill for the money and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a decent combo grill.
Rusted through - 3rd year.
I've had cheap grills all my life and decided this would a great upgrade and would last longer than buying a "disposable" grill every few years. Besides, if from Sams Club so the quality must be there, right?? This product is overpriced garbage. I even bought the company's cover thinking that would help prolong the life. The cover is complete garbage as well, but that's another review. This grill started showing an unusual amount of rust on the gas side during year 2 and by the end of the season the grate support on the left side was completely gone. I figured I'd pull it out fro season 3 this week and rig up something to support the grate, but upon further inspection discovered that the rust had gone completely through the box and the right side grate was barely hanging on. Going to the corner for the local scrappers now. I don't know if Weber is still what they used to be but I'm about to find out.
