Excellent grill for the price!

Excellent grill for the price! The build quality feels solid, and it looks great with a durable cover. The 4-wheel feature makes it so easy to move around garage or patio. Charcoal tray is a brilliant idea, no more having to scoop ashes out of the bottom. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality grill at an affordable price.

Great for indirect heat

Made with heavy steel. Doesn’t feel cheap. Went together without any issues. (Don’t try to do it without following the instructions.) My first meal was pork spare ribs using indirect heat. The large surface made it easy. They came out perfect.

Not bad for the price but

Overall the quality of the grill is good, but with that said. Once it's together it leaks smoke like a faucet. So with some high temp silicone and grill gasket. It works like the way it should.

Handle doesn't match picture or display.

The grill seems decent. It took about an hour or so to put together. My main complaint is the grill doesn't match the picture or the display. My grill came with the right black handle, but the screws holes in the lid were too close together for that handle. I emailed and they sent me a silver handle, which isn't the correct handle according to the picture on the box, website and the display. So back and forth with the company saying that I think they drilled the screw holes wrong for them to keep saying no it's right and the silver handle is right. Finally the rep says they changed the handle on the 2nd generation of the grill. Well why doesn't the picture represent that change, or the displays. How is one supposed to know that if no where else has a picture with the silver handle? Kind of seems off. Also why didn't he originally say they changed the handle? Just seems like a bag thing especially for a $200 grill.

Functionality and Rust Issues

We bought this grill on February 21, 2026 and we had a handful of issues starting right at the beginning. Some issues are minor and some much more important. On the minor side, it was missing a couple parts on assembly and we called to get replacement bolts, but never received a response. Also, the included cover has faded terribly in only 4 months. It has now become a two toned purple color and looks ridiculous next to our other grill on our deck. From a functionality perspective, if you remove the grates when heating the charcoal, the grates don't expand and fall into the grill when you try and put them in place. It is definitely a burn hazard trying to fish grates out of hot charcoal and then try to delicately arrange them so just a small sliver hits the back and front ledges to be able to cook. MOST importantly, the grill top has already started to rust. This grill is always covered (as you can see from the cover fading), so there is no reason it is starting to rust after only 4 months. I wanted to love this grill, but I am very much regretting this purchase. It is very cheaply made.

Two pieces was missing out out of my box. I was still able to put it together, but I feel for the price every piece should’ve been there.

Poor Quality, Rusted Within One Month

I am very disappointed with the quality of this grill. I purchased the Member's Mark 35" Barrel Charcoal Grill with Cover and, after only one month of ownership and just three uses, both the barrel and the charcoal holder have already started to rust. I expected a grill at this price point to withstand normal outdoor use for much longer than a few weeks. The rapid deterioration raises serious concerns about the quality of the materials and durability of the product. Because of the excessive rusting after such limited use, I will be returning the grill. I cannot recommend this product based on my experience.
