Defective Finishing
After just one use paint just start peeling off. I respect all the good job the vendor did for this product, but seems like the paint by itself had problem.

    Nice Barbecue!!
    Bigger than expected! Im truly Happy with this buy its a bagain for its price. I already grilled chicken and sausage and was able to put them all in and still had space left over. I also love how you place the coals in the metal with circled dents for them to stay put. Overall is Awesome!

      Paint melted off after one use
      Bottom paint on grill melted off after one use with charcoal. Even using the provided bottom pan and using small amounts of charcoal, the bottom paint melted off in certain parts. The grate hangers inside the grill also came bent which made it difficult to position the grilling grate at the correct level. I know you get what you pay for but this is terrible quality even for 65$.

        Terrible Quality
        Purchased this for 4th of July event, used lump charcoal, no lighter fluid. Before I could even begin grilling food the finish started melting off all around. Cleaned it out and took it straight back to Home Depot where I explained the situation. They gave me the money back but seemed to not believe me, I had photos and videos of it happening so I showed the manager. they should pull it from the shelves, the finish melting off can easily seep into food and is generally hazardous

          scratched on top
          I think they gave me the one on display, as it was scratched on top and wheels are vented to the sides

            Horrible paint quality
            Paint started to catch fire as soon as it got lit. I bought it yesterday for a family party owned one before and never had that issue until now.

              Do not buy this barbecue this is dangerous!
              I bought this barbecue from Home Depot 2 days ago, After one cooking, the paint started peeling completely from the inside AND the inside causing a terrible health hazard! I folded it to take it back to Home Depot, in the process the handle broke! 0 star

                    DO NOT BUY - DANGEROUS
                    We went to use this for the first time today and the entire grill caught fire and melted the entire bottom, and the lid became warped and discolored. We've been in a drought so this very easily could have resulted in a devastating fire. This is NOT safe and NOT reliable. Spend the money for a better quality grill. This grill almost murdered my family

                            I bought this grill because it was red and already assembled. It is really cute and has a lot of cooking space and the food turns out perfect every time.

                            Handles, hooks
                            Wish the material was a better quality. I was looking for a simple grill but I have to use bricks to hold the grate up for grilling because the hooks feel off. I don’t think you can handle high heat.

                                Purchased product on 8/31/19. Used product on 9/1/19 and am very pleased with it. After reading some of the reviews here I was a little hesitant at first but what the hay....only 55 bucks. Read the instructions! After setting up remove the chrome grill from product and set aside. Put tray on bottom inside of grill, load up with charcoal. I used briquets(22-25) which I found out later was too many. Next time I will use 15. Did not have charcoal lighter so I used some newspaper and scrap 1/2x6 pine boards split into kindling. Built a small pyramid on top of briquets about 3 layers high. Set newspaper on fire in several spots and burn baby burn! After approx. 15 min. briquets were burning nicely. Replace grill be careful of high heat, use gloves. I put on the chrome grill 12 large hamburgers and 6 hot dogs. Plenty of room! I did not burn any paint on the product and at the end of grilling put 8 briquets in water to extinguish them. Only burned 1/4 of the briquet so I will used them next time I grill after they are thoroughly dry. This is a great grill, very portable and folds up nicely. Does not take up much room in the back of my SUV or on my back patio(unlike my behemoth propane grill).

                                    I just purchased this grill and I'm taking it back for a refund. When I bought it, it said the instructions were inside the grill. There were none. Just a registration card. I also noticed a missing part in the back. It is for a sliding vent cover like the one in the front. There was also a nice long scratch in the cover. The overall quality is very poor if you ask me. What's really sad is how the manufacturer boasts about how it is proudly made in the USA. They have a big red, white, and blue sticker with the American flag on it. It reads, "Thank you for supporting American jobs!" I went to the website to see if I could download a PDF of the instructions and get a replacement part. No PDF that I could find and to order the part you click on a hyperlink to another site that doesn't work. Don't bother with this piece of junk.
