Color: Stainless Steel
Pattern Name: Performance 4-Burner + Side-Burner
This replaced an installed natural gas grill that I had been using for more than 10 years but decided I wanted a moveable propane grill which are more reasonably priced. I have been grilling with gas for more than 20 years; prior to that with charcoal in a 30 year old cast aluminum grill. Here is wha
t is good about this grill: - A lot of features for the price. This grill was much cheaper than an in-ground replacement with similar features. - Stainless steel exterior should hold up well. My previous grills have been cast aluminum which are essentially indestructible and hold heat well (see note below). What wears out are the cast iron grates, metal heat distributors, and gas burners. - Large cooking area with four burners that can be adjusted to achieve zones of different heating (See note, below). My previous grills with two burners sometimes limited the amount of cooking that could be done at one time. - The large side tables are useful and almost essential for grilling. Noted below, they do not fold down. - The drip collector and removable grease pan work well and are easy to clean. This is the best arrangement I have seen. - The side burner is a helpful feature but I mostly use it as a table instead of a burner. - Wheels allow for easy placement of the grill anywhere on my deck and for moving it to the side for storage. It has locking front wheels but I usually do not lock them unless people are moving around near the grill. - Temperature gauge in the top is almost essential for some grilling. Very useful, but I have had to add this feature to my previous grills. - A lot of parts to assemble, but it doesn't take much skill and the instructions and labeling are very good. These were well packaged and it is unlikely that there will be any damage upon delivery even if the shipping box is mishandled. What could be better: - Although the description says the top warming rack swings away when the top is open, the rack is actually fixed in place as shown in the picture. This makes placing meat under the rack more difficult. My previous grill had a swing away upper rack when the top was open, and I miss this feature. I use the rack for cooking vegetables, otherwise I would remove it to get it out of the way of grilling. - Although the stainless steel exterior may be long lasting, the thin metal does not retain heat as well as my previous cast aluminum grills. The interior does not get as hot given the amount of BTUs and I probably burn more gas for my grilling. - Each burner is long and narrow with a thin heat distributing metal plate over it that is very close to the grate. This arrangement does not distribute heat as evenly as my past grills that had burners lower in the grill with a larger and wider heat distributor that was several inches from the grate. The closer burners and heat distributors produce somewhat uneven heating across the grate, and I find that I have to flip and move the meat often for even cooking. This arrangement does allow better control of heating zones across the grate, but these zones are narrow. - The side tables do not fold down. My previous grills had this feature and it is useful to minimize the size of the grill when not in use and stored out of the way. - The back is open. Ventilation is important for safety with propane gas, but this allows mice and other wildlife access to look for food even if you cover the grill. I will probably have to put a screen across the back to keep out critters since I store the grill on my deck. - The illuminated control knobs is a useless gimmick. This is just a lighted ring around the knob and in the dark the light does not reveal the actual position of the knob. It looks cool, but I haven't found the light useful and will probably not replace the four batteries when they die out. The separate, single battery for the ignition is the only necessary electronic for the grill. Note, the ignition is powered by a separate battery located on the other side of the grill. Additional information that may be helpful: - The regulator has a safety feature to limit gas flow if there is a leak. This is buried in the manual. If this becomes engaged, the grill will not heat up above 250F or so, and the regulator will need to be detached and reattached. This has not happened for me but may have for other users. I turn on all the burners to max prior to use to make sure the grill will get up to 450+ before I grill. - I attached a gauge between the regulator and the tank so I know when the tank is nearing empty: DOZYANT Propane Tank Gauge Level Indicator LP Gas Pressure Meter Color Coded Universal for Cylinder, https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B086HJC4J8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - I got this cover which fits very well, comes to about 1 inch above the deck, and looks like it will last a long time: Classic Accessories Veranda Water-Resistant 52 Inch BBQ Grill Cover, https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R4J59R4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Great Grill except for starter
Color: Black
Pattern Name: Performance 2-Burner
I love this grill it’s plenty big for a single mother who now and then has their kids over. However, the starter runs on batteries which in and of itself is a pain because you have to keep replacing the batteries but the starter has pretty much never worked from the day I have owned it And I have to
use a match which is OK but I really don’t love it because I’m always afraid it’s gonna blow up in my face.

This is the 2nd one I've bought and absolutely love it. Great for grilling about 6 large burgers at a time and hotdogs or brats on the top. Love it!!! 1st one was outside for 8 years with just a cover so a good price for the money.

Got it yesterday and grilled on it last night. I couldn’t be happier. The metal that this is made of is of heavier grade than I expected. Doesn’t feel cheap and is pretty heavy even without the propane tank mounted inside. It went together very quickly due to the design build. All you need is a Phill
ips head screw driver. Before cooking I did a test run to get the new burnt off for about 15 minutes. It quickly got up to 600+ degrees. The caster wheels are of good quality and it rolls around very smoothly. The cabinet door self aligned all on its own and has a magnet on top and bottom to secure it closed. I have nothing negative to say about this grill. Love it!!

Big enough to BBQ or grille anything you want and compact enough for smaller yards with limited space. Assembly was not difficult but did take me 45 min to put it together.

I love it. It doesn't take much space, has wheels and cooks fast, 15-20 mins and all done. Would be nice to have timer and hooks for utensils. Quality item, sturdy foldable shelves on both sides, recommending for small families. I can cook 4-8 steaks batch plus some hot-dogs or fish on upper grill. E
asy to clean!

Nice grill for the price but doesn't grill really hot
Color: Black
Pattern Name: Performance 2-Burner
This is a nice little grill for the price. It does not take up much space and it has plenty of cooking serivice for four people. The only complaint I have is that it does not reach the temperature on the gauge and it is not useful for things that you want to cook fast over very high heat.

Very solid for the price, easiest assembly ever
Color: Black
Pattern Name: Performance 2-Burner
I was stunned by how easy & straightforward this was to assemble. It took me only about 90 mins, and that much time was only because I was being uber-cautious since I had never assembled a gas grill before. The instructions were almost entirely drawings- very few written words - but they were amazing
ly clear and precise. The best part was how they packed the nuts & bolts & screws & such; they were all blister-wrapped into sections onto a single piece of cardboard, the back side of which was printed with notes as to which section of the assembly each cluster of parts pertained. So clever! Why don't ALL manufacturers do this?! I have assembled an awful lot of DIY things in my life, some of them fairly easy, others inscrutably & devilishly IKEA-like. But this was actually a pleasure and a joy to build. It is a very solid grill for the price. I was concerned, because I was seriously "downsizing" from a fabulous workhorse Vermont Castings 3-burner (that cost me $398 way back in 2005!), that just could no longer be salvaged and repaired. I didn't want a flimsy or shoddy grill, but just wasn't willing to pay Weber prices....especially these days. It lights easily and gets to temp extremely rapidly compared to my old grill. I rubbed the grates with a little canola oil before first use. (But a day before that, i had done the "burn-in" at high heat for about 15 mins to get rid of all the manufacturing oils and such - whew that was smelly & smoky. You absolutely don't want to skip that step before you cook on a new grill.) The only downside is finding a good-quality grill cover that fits... this grill is very deep, even deeper than my old, larger grill. From handle to rear it is 25" deep but most covers are only 22" deep. So I will just have to keep the side tables folded down so that a decent cover can fit ...But then, that is another plus of this grill: those tables fold down easily. Meanwhile I am just using my existing (too-large) grill cover for now because it is still in great shape. (Word: Do not scrimp on grill covers! Get a good quality one, and it will last at least 2-3 years...or even longer if you patch any little holes on the underside with Gorilla tape 🙂) Very, very pleased with this purchase and the build quality of this grill.

I love this grill, it’s easy to use, heats up fast & is very easy to clean when you’re all finished. I’ve grilled chicken, brats & vegetables on it 3 times so far. I’m very happy with my new grill🤗 I was also able to put it together by myself, which I was a little bit nervous about when I order it si
nce I’m 62 &5’3”. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be strong enough when it came to the part in the directions & said you needed 2 people. I did it with NO help🤗
