This is a classic charcoal grill, for when you want to taste the rich woody charcoal flavor in your burgers and wieners. This Meco charcoal grill has a 21 1/2 inch square nickel-plated grilling surface with 342 square inches of usable cooking area. The elevated ash dump prevents premature grill destruction caused by bottom burnouts. Two handy, fold-away side tables made to look like real wood allow you a place to set burgers before you cook them, and a place to set them when removing them from the grill. This grill features stay-cool external knobs for easy grid adjustment while cooking, easy rolling wheels to aid transportation, and adjustable air vents in hood and bowl to save charcoal and control cooking temperatures. The hood is equipped with a stay-cool wooden-like handle so there's no need to reach for the oven mitt every time it's time to flip your burgers. Charcoal grills from Meco are for outdoor use only. Manufactured in Greeneville, TN USA with Domestic & Imported components.

These grills are great! They are well made. I have used mine for 15 years and handed it down. Looking for alot of years to come with my new grill. These have been a family staple in ours for 45+ years!

LOVE my Meco Grill.. B E S T on the market. Cooks food evenly and very well. I've cooked on many grills but Meco is the best. I am soooo happy my last grill survived shipping and I've cooked 3 meals on it already. I don't care about the weather. I cook out year around. I would recommend a MECO grill to any serious griller... They last awhile, too. This is my 3rd one. My last one lasted 15 years. YEEHAW!!!

I've been using this same model Meco Americana charcoal grill for over 30 years. I use them to they rust out. This will be my 4th Meco purchase in 30 years. I upgrade the bottom tray and grate to give grill longevity. I like the big cooking surface and all of the draft and cooking elevation controls.

This grill is as well built as the one my father had in the 80s. Good air-flow through the vents and better than other brands. Side table and shelf underneath are very handy and worth the extra cost. Square surface is best when you have a group of 20 people and are cooking burgers, sausages, dogs, and chicken legs.

I had one of these years ago that I wore out and wanted a brand new one. I have three other bbqs that don't work this good. It's a good smoker too. For my needs, this is perfect!

We have used ours regularly, except in winter months, for many years. The grill can hold two standard-size rectangular grilling baskets. The grill height controls are easy to use and give good cooking options. We hang grill-brushes from With the vents closed, closing the lid puts out the fire, saving unburnt charcoal and cooling the unit quickly. We use a metal charcoal chimney to start our fires. With the side shelves folded down, it can store in about the same space as a large trashcan.

Great grill, easy to use, have had 3 of these over the years, only drawback is the newer ashpan. Good sturdy design, but it warps from the heat, needs to be heat treated or made of different metal.

The instructions need a larger, more detailed picture for putting together the hinge brackets (connecting the top and bottom together. Also, the method of installing the bottom shelf is totally inadequate. I had to tape all four brackets around the legs so it wouldn't keep slipping down.

Go to the description and open the manual before you order. Notice part number 6 on page 3. See that a quantity of 10 are provided. Now look at page 4. You need 6 of them for step A. Then on page 5 you need 4 more for step C, another 4 for step D, and again another 4 for step E. 6+4+4+4=18 That's a total of 18 nuts needed to assemble this grill. There are other problems with the instructions. This is just the easiest to demonstrate in a written review. The grill itself is a 4/5 for quality and design. I'm giving it a 3/5 due to the errors in the instructions.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
