BBQ Grill Review-UniFlame Deluxe Square Charcoal Grill


Hey so last night I had the pleasure of pulling this grill right out

of the box, just bought it from Wal-Mart. I picked it up because

it was pretty inexpensive and looked big enough to do most jobs

on it. The box says it has a "23 Burger Capacity". OK so first I

had to put this thing together the directions were short and

pretty easy to follow although I had to ask someone for a hand

because it was almost impossible to to put the legs on one at a time without someone holding the

grill level. It comes complete with all the nuts, bolts, and tools you will need to assemble the

product, but be careful the hardware kit I got with this grill was mislabeled, what I mean is they

labeled all the pieces with letters and they didn't exactly match up with the Pictures in the

diagram but they were all there so it worked out. So after I put it together I had to put it to use.

With this grill you almost always have to put the same amount of charcoal in it even if you don't

need it hot for as long the bottom is so big and wide the charcoal will lay thin after you spread it

out. Another problem is the legs in the front twist so they are not straight like you just grabbed it

where it sat and tried to spin it. Also the legs wobble a little. The wheels are a nice addition but

there is no handle to grab, so you can't just pull it back and wheel it away so once it is lite don't

try and move it. This grill has sliding air vents on the front and back they are big enough that

you actually see the affect it has the your charcoal. The vents worked well. This grill also comes

with a flip up side trey, its always good to have a table right next to your grill but this table was

real flaky I wouldn't sit much on it, the plastic is kinda weak and tends to flex. It also comes with

a drop in charcoal trey which did make he clean up a little easier. After Putting it together and

using it I'm going to have to rate this grill a 6/10.

  1. I bought a Uni-Flame kettle style bbq grill. The knob on the top vent melted on about the 4th use. The upper rack won't stay in place. The main grill is warped from the heat, so they obviously don't use materials to manufacture their grills that are capable of handling the heat of a charcoal fire. A total waste of 45.00!!!!!!
