The Bottom Line

At around $600 this isn't a bad stainless steel gas grill. The 304 stainless steel will last and retain its appearance for a long time though it is thin. Of all the Chinese manufacturers, Grand Hall (who makes this unit) probably has the best reputation. The heat output is good and even giving you good grilling abilities and short preheat times. This is a full feature grill with side burner, rotisserie system (including rear mounted infrared rotisserie burner, and even a cover included.

Guide Review - Member's Mark 32-inch Stainless Steel Gas Grill

Of the complete stainless steel gas grills to come out of China this is one of the better of the lower priced units. This unit is big and has all the basic features. The heat output is strong and even so you should be able to grill a lot of different foods on this unit easily. The side burner is pretty standard. You will get basic function out of it, but don't count on it for heavy cooking.

Also on this grill, sold exclusively through Sam's Club, is a full rotisserie system with a rear mounted infrared burner. This is a good set up for this grill. The problem with this grill, like most of this type is that features and appearance come before quality. The construction is limited and the metal thin so you will need to take good care of this grill if you want it to last.

This grill also includes the newest fad accessory, the infrared sear burner. These take some getting used too and many people find them very useful for searing steaks at high temperatures. This is one of those features that is you use it you love it, if not, its just taking up a lot of space in your grill that you could be doing something else with.

Sam's club warranties this grill and has a reputation for great support, as does Grand Hall. Of all the Chinese manufacturers Grand Hall is one of the few who will actually provide direct support if needed. This is a nice looking grill and has good features. If you can get it on sale on it you should really consider this grill.
