I bought this grill and put it together in 2 hours. It was easy to follow the directions, all the parts were included and the manual was well written. I didn't have any trouble understanding what part goes where. The only tool I needed was a phillips screwdriver, and I used a hand drill with a phillips bit which made the assembly process very fast.

The grill is well built where it needs to be, but the side shelves don't feel as solid as I'm used to on my old grill. You need to pay attention to the size pan you use on the side burner, and the weight limit as well. I don't think a big kettle full of water and ears of corn will do very well on this burner. Maybe a 4 quart pan full of water, but nothing any bigger. This grill will work great for my family of 4.

The cooking surface is smooth and easy to clean. It is porcelain covered V-shaped steel, but I recommend buying a better cooking grate if you enjoy cooking hamburgers. There is a 1 inch gap between each V-shaped bar. When I cook hamburgers, the meat settles down into the V-shaped grate and it is simply not possible to get the hamburgers up out of the grate without tearing the burgers apart. Large pieces of meat are ok on this cooking grate. Small chicken breasts or thighs will settle down into the V-shaped grate. Again, I bought a better cooking grate and placed it on top of this grate.

The thermometer on the lid is handy and will be helpful when I bake sausage, potatoes, carrots with butter. No more guessing on the temperature. I also like the porcelain covered warmer shelf. It won't rust! I am buying a cover for it, and will keep it out of the elements that way.

There are 4 burners and it will be easy to use this grill as a smoker too. I can turn one burner on, and use the other side of the grill to hold the meat for indirect cooking. You don't need lava rocks, etc for this grill either, so there will be fewer flareups.

I recommend this grill for a small family. If you grill for a large crowd regularly, you'll probably want a different grill. The sideburner will meet the needs of a small gathering of 6 or so.

I was given this grill 4 years ago (it's 2013) for mine and my wife's wedding shower. I should have put a cover on it, but never did, although I did keep it under an awning most of the time. I probably grill 2-3 times a week no matter what season it is. Sidenote: I never understand people who say "grilling season", that's all year for me, but I digress. In those four years I've cooked everything from corn to steak and even used the eye on the side to make hamburger helper when our power went out. About a year ago the middle burn covers starting rusting and falling apart and now they are almost completely gone. Really for a $200 grill that got used constantly for 4 years I would say that's not bad. The starter JUST went out about a month ago, which to me is amazing as that's usually the first thing to go and this grill rusted out first. Overall I think it's probably one of the best you can get and I'll be ordering it this weekend once my wife realizes it's the best deal.

For the money, this is a good value. It assembles easily. The burners are set up exactly like my previous Char Broil which is not exactly good (I didn't realize that Char Broil is the manufacturer of Thermos).....the burners get quite hot, even on low, so that we cook on the warming rack.

It was damaged in the carton, took awhile to get together because of the dents. It was too much trouble to send back so I kept the grill, really like it except for the dents in the box and side shelf.
