I have had this grill for two seasons. I usually do not review items but I felt I should on this item. The charcoal is too close to the grates and you cannot control the heat well. Has a tendency to burn what you are cooking. The handle is positioned to where you burn your arm opening and closing it. The grates rusted quickly. If you do not leave the grates on when it is heating, then the grates do not expand with the grill and fall in when you place them. I usually buy members mark items without much review because historically they are usually good products. I regret buying this grill.

This was a great purchase.It's sturdy and big enough for my family.

Rock solid, great buy for the $$$

Nice a lot of rome to cook on

Missing instructions, how am I supposed to build it without instructions

Bought this 04/15/24 and took about 4 hrs. to assemble by myself, very heave and sturdy and cooked burgers and chicken absolutely perfect, great price and set for years to come.

The holes for the hinges on the bottom of the barrel were drilled on the wrong side at the manufactory. I would recommend checking before spending the time putting it together. I will be returning the grill ASAP.

Just finished assembly. No missing parts. Everything went together okay. Some of the instructions were a little vague and the only reason I didn't give it a 5 star review.

So happy that someone still makes a large rectangular shaped charcoal grill. This is our 3rd one -- we literally burn it out after 2 years of 2-3x per week grilling. Please don't discontinue this :)

It would be great if there was a left side fire box attachment to be purchased for it. That would enable a smoker functionality for this grill, which would make it all-in-one perfect, for cooks who don't use gas.
