It’s perfect

I love it! It’s doesn’t take up a lot of space, yet it’s big enough to get the job done. I also like that it has an ash tray. This is my first time purchasing my very own grill and I think I made a very wise choice! The price was great as well! Now the instructions were a little confusing so I had to YouTube some of it, but I got it done.

Just Right - Barrel Charcoal Grill

Not hard to assemble. Cover fits nice. Not sure if I can move it by myself, but it van roll. Easy to cook in. Thermometer said over 200 degrees, but ribs cooked fast and were delicious while foods on top rack cooked nicely and steaks next to ribs were fine. Everything was delicious and I did it myself. Two thumbs up, I'm very happy with my purchase and I hope to get a lot of use out of it.

Grill

I personally prefer charcoal over gas so this was a win for me. As much as it rains here in Florida (the rain shine state). The cover is perfect and does its job. A ton of space for what you need. This is perfect for me. Took about 2 hrs to assemble, very sturdy. If I have one complaint, it’s the grease catcher. Sometimes it misses and lands on the bottom shelf.

Heavy duty barrel charcoal grill

A superior charcoal grill. Assembly took about 4 hours. All the parts were there, and I only made 2 mistakes that had to be corrected at the end. I love the heaviness of the grill, the precision of the way the parts fit together, the easy ash tray that slides out to remove the ashes, the built in thermometer, the size of the grill - able to make 2 zones easily, the warming tray. Overall, besides the assembly, it is a high quality grill that I hope lasts a lifetime. The cover fits perfectly.

It's good

Very nice but the paint job isn't heat resistant.

Excellent grill!

I got this 4 years ago it's been a great grill. It's direct heat, hard to keep the temp down but that's fine, I have a pellet grill for slow cooking, It's a good, reliable grill, plenty of room and the front and side shelves are nice. A note on assembly: the bad reviews are mostly related to parts or holes not aligning, etc, This is one of those assemblies where you have to use a little intuition, you may have to redo a step or two to get it right, I'm now going to lie, not the easiest assembly, but it worked, When you finish it, it may wobble a bit, I just put a tile under a leg to level it up a bit, A screw in leveler would be handy, but no big deal. over time the porcelain coated started coming off the cast iron grill surface grates, I replaced them, and the charcoal tray rusted out after about 3 years. Still a great grill well worth the price!

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.

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.
