"The only thing that happened so far was it wouldn't light the second time we tried. Found out the cheap battery that came with it was already bad. So, swapped it out for an Energizer and we were once again grilin' away!"

"I bought this to leave at my RV on a lake. It's a nice grill, assembly was easy and it heats up nice. All I expected from this grill, no better no worse...
Except for when it's windy or even breezy. Lots of holes and crevices for air to get into and when the wind picks up, even just a little, the flames (without even putting food on, just from the gas)
really start shooting out underneath the firebox. I was afraid it might melt the ground and ignition wires so I wrapped them w/ tin foil. Best way to avoid these flame blow outs is to turn the grill into the wind."

"Overall, this grill is good for the price. Assembly was easy. Took me about 2 hrs to put it together. It heats up very quickly. Unfortunatly one of my grill grates was broken upon delivery. Now I'm waitng for a replacement part. I have three basic complaints... No temperature gauge, no empty/full indicator to tell me when I'm about to run out of gas. My last grill had that. It sure comes in handy if you're cooking for a big family and you don't want to run out of gas mid grill... Also, I wasn't aware how the burners were set up before I bought it. They are not narrow horizontal burners like my previous grill. I like to cook ribs using indirect heating, which normally requires placing the ribsover the middle two burners which are turned off and leaving the the outside burners on which are at the bottom and top. The heat circulates so I don't have to ever lift the cover or turn the ribs. This grill is just the opposite though. I'm not sure if the heat can circulate properly while leaving the flames on the right and left sides while leaving the middle ones off??? My guess is no..."

"One complaint is that the top warming rack is so low that it makes it difficult to turn over your food on the back of the grill. Also, I had to remove it in order to sit a baked-bean pot on the grate. I also wish it had a temperature gauge/thermometer. However, for the price...I am still giving this grill five stars."

"I did Quite a bit of research before buying this grill, reading reviews from here and several other stores. This grill is a good deal for the money and I have no complaints, but I do have a couple comments that may come in handy for the prospective buyer. First, even if you buy this grill pre-assembled, tighten the bolts, and read the assembly instructions, just to be sure everything is done right, and the grill is sturdy. Second, several people commented about the lack of a thermostat, this can be purchased separately and cheaply at any HD store, it is very easy to install, simply by drilling a 3/8 hole right above the center of the " -B" in "Char-Broil" and installing the replacement thermostat there, Works like a dream.
Nowhere else will you find a 4 burner grill for this price, and it works great. Good luck and happy grilling."

yeah i like to read the bad reviews cuz people are usually idiots. seems like a nice grill though. i would consider doin the hardware store temp gauge. that and taking your time with the instructions. and replace the ignitor battery with a good one.
