I bought one of these last summer and used it a lot for about 4 months. It worked well as a portable grill although there was quite a lot of grease splatter coming out of the vents on the lower sides. At the end of the season I cleaned it well, covered it and the stand I had it on, and left it on my deck until spring. I've done likewise with many other grills. When I uncovered it in April I found the exterior was a strange amber color, covered with rust spots and the inside to be a rusted mess, (see photo) not salvageable. I ended up sending it to a metal scrapper.

Let me preface these comments by saying that this is a portable, hundred dollar grill, and should not be expected to preform the same as a regular grill. Four stars because of how difficult it is to get the desired cooking temp dialed in. I HIGHLY recommend that before you plan on using this grill, you spend up to an hour with an oven thermometer (and no food) inside the grill. The manual says to burn it for 15 minutes anyway prior to cooking on it so do some experimenting while your at it. My experience was that with both burners on high, temp was somewhere over 600 degrees. Both burners on low was still over 500. I tried a variety of venting options (where the lid was not all the way closed) before landing on turning one burner off, and the other on med. This gave me the desired cooking temp of about 350, although the trade off is that there is only one section of the grill at this temp, about a third of the width of the grill (cooking surface is 19" wide, 22" diagonal). With more experience, I think both burners on low with the right lid prop will be how I use it. When a burner is on high, the metal triangle over the burner (heat shield) glows red. If you are cooking burgers and dogs, just leave the lid up, but if you want to cook a rack of ribs, a thick steak, or even chicken breasts, give yourself a trial run (or two) before you go camping/tailgating. (note: this was with no wind, ~56 degrees) Pros: Its $100 bucks, connects to a standard LP tank (hose is just over 3'), has a latching lid, decent build quality- it's not super cheap, but won't blow your socks off either. They did a good job overall, it serves it's purpose well. I really like the fact it does not use those stupid tiny LP canisters. This is a very good grill for tailgating or setting up base camp for multiple days of camping. Cons: difficult to find and maintain a usable cooking temp. Tips: When unpacking, the control knobs are practically hidden in the Styrofoam packaging, and bring along something to prop the lid up with. I used an empty 12oz can, but a wine cork would work well, or a piece of a brick, something like that. Also, the heat shields inside just there, so make sure you put them back in their slots after transport. Photos: This was my test run, so pics are from my porch. First one shows overall size and hose length, second is for scale. FYI, the manual does say to be careful about elevating the grill too high above the LP tank.

1st time I tried it I was cooking just 4 burgers and noticed half way through cooking them that lots of grease was splattering out the air vents in each side of the grill onto the table it sat on instead of going into the drip tray provided. The burgers weren't even fatty but 80/20 lean. I'm talking lots of grease not just a few drops.

Bought this grill back in 2009 when they first showed up at my Samsclub. I have used it as my main stay patio grill for 10 years. I must say it has been the best value grill I have ever owned, In the ten years of every other weekend use the igniter went out after the first year and I used a grill lighter from that point on. Replaced the deflector plates twice and rehabbed two of the leg brackets at the five year mark. The burners have finally failed here in April of 2019. So what did I do...just got back from Sam Club with my new Members Mark Portable grill. Same Model!!! Same Price !!! Looking forward to another 10 Years of great grilling. Tx Sam W. RIP

My first one lasted 10 years out in the woods

Very easy to assemble!!! So far so good, used it a few times already.

So far I haven't had the chance to use it but what I liked is that is easy to carry and looks very strong compared to other brands

I brought one back in 2012 it worked great. It died about a month ago so we got another one just this year and the price was still the same.

I bought this same bbq for my self several years ago and love it.So I bought one for my daughter and husband for christmas.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago,my husband was not happy,well he's all smiles now,He loves the grill,used it twice in a week,now it's his grill!!!!
