Observations - My box from Amazon arrived quickly via prime 2 day. The box tape wasloose before it arrived, but nothing was out of place. It's obvious the little box is heavy and there's very minimal tape used. Either heavy tape or staples would solve this. All parts but the wire shelf were inside the grill and in good shape. My grates were wrapped in shrink and slightly oily. There was no plastic coating on the iron. I had 1 extra short bolt & nut. All the nuts were ribbed on the base, i.e. lock nuts and the same size. I notice people making statements about lock washers. The 3 lock washers are for the 2 vents and the drawer lock (L shaped in it's own pack) and I question even needing them. The vents need to move, so you'll have to tighten the nut just enough to make them movable by hand. BTW, the instructions call the vents a 'Damper'...fine ;)I recommend you leave the leg bolts hand tightened and get the drum on top and it's 4 bolts in and tighten it first.Then place the legs on a level surface or table and tighten all the bolts. This will really help you align thedrum bolts on the legs. Long experience with this kind of assembly helped me. One of my grate guides had a slightbend, but no big deal. Easy to bend back in place with some vice grips or pliers. The main grill door doesn't closeperfectly and I could care less. It's a tiny gap and yet another vent. I'll call it a feature for an experienced griller ;)As others mention, just look at the picture for reference. The tabs on the legs go inside and the angled wheel axlesface out and on the same side. Be sure to insert the bottom wire shelf in the tabs before you stand up the legs andmount the side braces. Yes, I agree the instructions are goofy, but this thing is not hard to assemble.It will be sturdy if you are patient and possess a minimal amount of common sense. A socket wrench really helps.The top is available for 70, but I think the stand is worth the extra money. I have inside storage, sothe unfinished wood will live. It's stained but not sealed. The heavy drum is perfect for making lots of heatwith minimal charcoal. It goes without saying, Iron grates are the best possible surface for grilling. These aredarn good for the money, so don't brush off the fat until you're ready to add some more. This small hunk of steeland iron is worth the asking price. It will last much longer than any common tub type grill.Tonight is 2 burns with veg oil. Tomorrow, break in the seasoned iron with NY strips and Fish. YUM!Happy Grillin' Guys

Excellent grill. Heavy material distributes and holds heat well. Even better if it was just a wee bit bigger.

I noticed a lot of reviews by people stating that the paint started to peel after first use. I'm pretty sure that NO ONE would've had this problem if they REMEMBERed TO SEASON THE BBQ THOROUGHLY WITH VEGETABLE OIL BEFORE FIRST USE. The pictures you are seeing is the condition after my 5TH USE!!! This is truly a magnificent piece of kit once you know how to look after it. I can actually see this being around and in tip top condition for many years to come. Other than the fact I just need to master getting it to hot enough temperature this thing barbecues and smokes the food tremendously to the point my kebabs, chicken and brisket came out tasting identical IF NOT BETTER THAN SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS I HAVE VISITED. Will definitely save a ton of money on takeaway and restaurant visits. Hands down my best purchase in years!!!

Es una buena barbacoa,para dos o tres personas está bien,el acero es de buena calidad.La única pega fue soldar las patas porque con los tornillos me bailaba mucho ,la unión de las patas tenía demasiada olgura.

This is the best charcoal barbecue I have used.It is almost impossible to burn food, closing vents means you slow cook and slightly steam everything.Charcoal tray means cleaning is really easy.Highly recommended.
