I ordered this grill last week and it delivered on Monday. The delivery was faster than I expected, so I didn't have time to prepare the meat. I had planned to have a barbecue this weekend, but I don't like to wait, so I immediately went to the supermarket to buy sausages and steaks, and assembled them while drinking beer when I came back. The assembly process was much simpler than I thought. I thought it would take me more than 2 hours, but I finished it in more than half an hour. Haha, let's start lining up! Barbecuing while drinking beer is my favorite thing to do. It is worth mentioning that I like the design of this grill very much. The combination of the grill and the griddle allows me to achieve my ideal cooking method. I will first increase the temperature of the grill to 500F, then sprinkle a little olive oil on the griddle, and put the seasoned steak directly on the griddle. This way I can lock the juice in the steak, then I will lower the temperature of the grill to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, let the steak slowly bake to medium rare, after baking, I will wrap the steak with tin foil and let it rest for 10 minutes, at the same time, I rise the grill temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then put my secret seasoning on the iron plate to fry the aroma, add the steak in to enhance the flavor. Bro, I must tell you, this steak is soooooooo delicious!!! I think even if the chef Gordon Ramsay comes and try it out, he will ask for more Haha! All in all, I like this grill very much, I plan to have beer and barbecue every day!!I don’t know if what I wrote is helpful to you, but I like it very much, and I hope you will give it a try. After all, every man should have good grill.

I recently purchased this kettle grill and love all the extra features/accessories you get compared to others on the market. It comes with a temperature gauge, ash catcher, tool basket, and warming rack, as well as two cast iron grates which make it great for toasting buns. I'm also impressed with the quality of the material the grill is made of. It also comes with a grill cover, something other manufactures don't offer. If I could change anything it would be for the grill to come with two extra cooking grids for the times when you need more space for grilling more food. I would also clarify in the assembling instructions, in step 2 how the fire bowl should be positioned. When we assembled it, we put the bowl on backwards and had to loosen the legs to turn the bowl 180 degrees so the kettle handle was on the opposite side of the wheels for easy moving. Maybe number the legs and holes in the fire bowl to match each other. All in all, great product.

I bought this grill several months ago and it is the best kettle grill on the market. it is so well built and goes together easily and exactly as the instructions guide you. Everything about it is heavy duty, from the wheels to the hood, it is rock solid. Also love that it comes with the cover to keep it looking new oh yeah, it also cooks just as well as a weber or some other brands!

I brought this grill online and just received it today. The assembling was easy, only took me about 30 minutes. It's a good quality grill, heavy duty and also easy to move around. I really like the handle of the grill, it feels great when you open the lid. This is exactly what I want and the size is perfect for my family. I will be using it all the time!!

We received our Mark 225c grill today, we love it, very sterdy / strong structure, we cooked on it today. Worked great. Look forward on using it during the hot summer nights. And if our power goes out. We still have something to cook with.

Its a good quality grill with good quality materials. The only issue is you can only use 50% of the grill surface because this comes with half grill and half griddle. so if you have more to grill, you out of luck. i tried to use a Weber replacement 22 inch grill on top, but the circumference is just a tiny small to fit in.

I disagree pretty strongly with the one star reviews. Assemby was pretty easy. It did take a little time, but I completed by myself without an issue. I don't have any issues with the latch, and have no problem moving it. The construction is pretty typical for this type of product. Both have plusses and minuses, but my overall rating would be similar to the base level Weber. The one thing that annoys me, is that when you close all the vents, it doesn't seal well enough to stop your burn. If you're a frugal person (as I am) who likes to reuse old coals, you can't really do that with this grill as it comes. The coals burn to ash every use.

This grill has a lot of good ideas, but some are not well thought through. Hard to clean, hard to get ashes out, hard to fit food under the warming rack, hard to get charcoal in...

The grill is sturdy and has nice features, but only comes with 2 grates and 2 griddles. This makes grilling steaks for 5 people very difficult. I contacted Sam's to see how to purchase two more grates, and they referred me to the supplier, who was no help when I called. It should come with 4 grates and two griddles, even if the price was higher. I suppose I'll get a Weber grate and alter the grill to make it fit. Next time I'll just by the Weber.

i bought this last June, but just put it tiogether today amd ot was missing hardware to attach to damper. I'm also disappointed that it did not come with a full grate. i like the option to have the griddle plates, but it should be able to be a normal grill. Because it is not it hinders cooking multiple different foods. not sure what to do about the hardware issue, i will have see what Sam's can do about it.
