MF Studio 4 Burner Propane Gas Outdoor Grill with Side Burner Stainless Steel BBQ Grill

You should know this review is from a 78 year old former engineer who built robots and computer operated machines, etc. That said, the sealed shipping box is about 78 pounds and the assembly manual is 25 pages and well illustrated with parts numbered, however only 3 actual parts were labelled, all remaining parts you must figure out from the manual pictures. This grill consists of approx 38 separate pieces (plus hardware) and requires complete assembly except for the 4 main burners. The grill parts were well packed with no shipping damage except for the "stronger bracket" which is for shipping only and is labelled as "remove during assembly". It took about 2 hours just to unpack since it was packed so well with triwall cardboard, styrofoam, strapping etc plus boxes within boxes and the box said grill must be returned in original carton so I took care. All of the assembly screws, nuts washers are packed in hard blister plastic (approx 60 pieces) and you will need a very sharp razor to cut them out of the packing. If you can read and follow the descriptions and drawings, assembly is not difficult but will take time. I assembled this grill by myself over 5 hours on day one and about 3 additional hours on day two. ( I did have help lifting the main grill body onto the cart frame.) If you are willing to put in the time, I believe it is worth your effort. The grill is a quality product. All burners light off immediately using the iginition starter and flame is well controlled. The cooking grills are heavy and porcelain coated. The grill is attractive and cooks well. I have cooked burgers, hot dogs, brisket and chicken all satisfactorily. In summary, you would find it easier to assemble with a helper but I think the grill is a quality item and worth the price. Since it sits on 4 wheels (2 are locking), you will want to use it on a level surface or it will try to roll.

Very nice grill, heats well and grills nicely. The only downside was I selected to assemble the grill on my own. The assembly instructions were somewhat confusing. the diagrams were small, and the placement of the multiple bolts was up to some conjecture. It took my wife and I four hours to assemble the grill. It does take two people to assemble the grill since some of the components are unwieldy, and one person is needed to hold the piece in place while the other person secures the component.
