Meco Charcoal Grill Review
Meco Charcoal Grill
Summary:
The Meco 4100 Charcoal Grill is another grill without frills. Its nickel-plated grate is not the best because it can chip easily and food tends to stick. Some users consider this grill cheaply made and note that the lid isn't durable.

The Meco 4100 Charcoal Grill just does not impress too many backyard cooks. One Meco 4100 review on Buzzillions complains that the lid isn't insulated and the cheap charcoal grill, overall, isn't very durable. Another Meco 4100 Charcoal Grill review on Epinions notes that the grates are adjustable, but the handles used to adjust them get really hot and are hard to maneuver without potholders. The same user also reports that the vents are loose and don't stay in position. Several Meco 4100 Charcoal Grill reviews on Amazon say that the metal on this grill seems thin and the grill itself less durable compared to a previous model. On the other hand, some Meco 4100 Charcoal Grill reviews on Amazon are from long-term and loyal Meco fans who like the wheels and adjustable vents, not to mention the end results.

The very simple Meco 4100 Charcoal Grill has 342 square inches of cooking surface and adjustable nickel-plated grates, which are not ideal for holding in heat or for cooking food evenly. Also disappointing is the absence of any extra features.

In sum, there's nothing special about the Meco 4100 charcoal grill. It's on the small side and the grates aren't the best for grilling. User comments are also a concern, as we found a number of Meco 4100 Charcoal Grill reviews asserting that this model is poorly made.
