Master Forge 32″ Charcoal Grill Review

Share on:
Master Forge 32" Charcoal Grill

A lot of people like this Lowe’s exclusive grill*, so we went to kick the tires and were sorry to find it is about as flimsy as flimsy gets. It’s so cheaply constructed that it made the POJ Char-Griller on display next to it look good. The dampers were rickety and out of line with the vents in the body, there’s no way this thing can control air and heat well. On the plus side, it has an adjustable charcoal tray to bring hot coal up for searing or lower it for BBQ roasting. A front door makes replenishing coal easy and a mounted bottle opener is always welcome. As with all Master Forge equipment, durability is questionable. A model with an enclosed double door cart is also available.

This grill is made by GHP Group in Morton Grove, IL for Master Forge. GHP makes Dyna-Glo Grills and offers basically the same model with the Dyna-Glo logo on the lid.
