Park Style Heavy Duty Steel Outdoor BBQ Charcoal Grill with Cooking Grate and 360 Degree Swivel Post for Camping or Backyard, Black

As others have said, this is a VERY well constructed and heavy duty grill. I did not sink the post as deeply as they recommended because it would’ve been too short. I wanted the cooking surface to be approximately the same height as a typical kitchen stove. I installed this about four months ago and I believe I set the post approximately 18 inches below ground level. Everyone who saw it was very impressed with the looks and the quality and I enjoyed using it this summer! I would highly recommend this grill. If you’re thinking about it but are hesitant, you should just go for it! I’m sure this will last years and years!

I got this through Amazon December 2014 and set it up in the back yard the following spring. The one I have ships from "pilot rock" heavy duty, and it is indeed heavy duty. The grill box itself is well over 50 pounds, thick and sturdy enough to last for years (decades?). Installation wasn't impossible but a little tricky. Best if done by two people. The tricky part is they tell you to dig a 3 foot deep hole, 1 foot in diameter, fill it with cement and put the pipe in there about 15 inches off the bottom of the hole, so you are using some of the cement in the hole as a footing to avoid frost lift in the winter. Keep the cement thick so that you have a sturdy place to set the pipe on while one person steadies it for level/plumb concerns, and the second person continues filling hole with cement. I used roughly, three 50 lb. bags of "quick set" ready mix, allowed the pipe in cement to set up over night and then next day, put the heavy grill on the pipe. It came with a pin to lock the grill onto the pipe but I left that off so I can remove the grill box from the pipe and store it if I want. Love it, got a feeling all my relatives will be getting one in the future. Update, it is now 2017 and it looks as good as new, no rust, I do keep a cover on it. Speaking of that: Grill Cover- if you are interested in a cover for it (my wife likes to keep it real clean) I found a good one that fits snug over the grill, it's the one made originally for the Weber Baby Q 6550, (fits Weber Q-100 and Q-120,and best news is, it runs only around $10 on Amazon. Update- it's been years since I purchased this and this grill still looks great, and the same grill cover I mentioned, is holding up well, although the price for that cover went way up, but both the grill and the cover are holding up well through Michigan winters. Also, a little trick, I put a brick on the grill top then place the cover on it so it has a peak and rain water, snow, runs off it instead of collecting on it. These grills add something extra to the back yard and probably are also a selling plus if you ever sell your place. Glad I bought one. I paid $139 back when I bought mine but it's well worth the price increase, good for the long haul. Final update, September 2020 still no problems, some surface rust but brush it, no warping, I got another Pilot Rock for the cabin but got the lower cost one, little less $ but less sq inch cooking area too, love them both, but this one is better.

The term "heavy duty" has lost a lot of meaning over the years as manufacturers stretch the term as a marketing tool. I can say, without a doubt, that this grill really is heavy duty. The durability of the grill is clearly the same as those found in public parks. This isn't just a replica of a park grill for home use, it's the real thing. It even has a few anti-theft features for installation in public areas. The cook surface is adequate for medium-sized gatherings. It will fit about 9 hamburgers at the same time with room for a few hot-dogs too. The grill is very thick and height adjustments are easy to make even with food on the grill. The grill flips up to make it easier to clear ashes out of the fire box. The entire box swivels, which is a nice feature if you are dealing with wind or if you just want to face a different direction when cooking. I don't know how often I will use this feature, but it's nice to have. Installation was pretty simple, but you will break a sweat digging the hole and working with concrete. You will need a shovel (post hole digger would be better), level (to plumb the pole) and gloves/eye protection for working with concrete. A previous reviewer commented that the mounting pole was too short. I have a few thoughts about this. First of all, I agree that a longer post would have been nice. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to get deep enough into the concrete AND have enough height left to set the grill where I wanted it. I was thinking that the grill cook surface should be about 40" off the ground. Then I measured the height of another grill and found that cook surface was 34" off the ground, a few inches lower than I expected. The point I'm trying to make is that this grill has plenty of height to set your cook surface near a standard grill height. I wound up with a cook surface of 36" above the ground (the same height as a kitchen counter). Bottom line: a longer pole would have been nice, but it didn't stop me from securely mounting the grill at a perfect height. The last thing I will say about this grill is that it has a very high "coolness factor". Let's face it, there is something cool about having a real park grill in your own yard. Few people have something like this and it is pretty impressive to look at. In a market full of grills with smoker boxes, infra-red wireless thermometers, L.E.D. cook lights and bun toasting racks, this grill is perfect in it's primitive simplicity. It gives you a place to burn your charcoal and a surface to cook your food. What more could you need? (cue caveman laughter)

GREAT PRODUCT! SUPER HEAVY DUTY AND FUNCTIONS AS IT SHOULD I WOULD PURCHASE AGAIN

We added this grill to our other collection and just love it. There's nothing like a good chargrilled burger! Our gas grill or Blackstone griddle doesn't even compare to the flavor you get from cooking on real charcoal briquettes! I highly recommend this and we concreted it in our ground and always keep a cover on it
