I have purchased MECO grills over the years [since the early-'80s] and have been a satisfied customer. I like the features of the grill, and have accepted the reality that the product is not as robust as Weber, but the value has always offset the relative cost issue. I just purchased a new 4106 in late June and was quite disappointed. No longer is the hood pre-assembled to the bowl with rivets, requiring no assemby by the owner, but [as noted in by another commenter] the proper locknuts required to assemble the entire grill were missing; in there place square non-locking nuts, which if utilized as direct substitute would have left a shaky grill forever. I contacted MECO and a very pleasant lady told me that was how the company was was shipping the units now, and she did not know why. But, she did happily ship the locknuts necessary, and a week later, I was able to finally assemble the grill in its entirety. Had I needed the grill immediately, I could have purchased the locknuts for 'chump-change' at my local mega-hardware store, but I did not. My final observation regarding my new grill, in addition to the above, as I compare its 'heft' to my old grill which I have not trashed as yet, it appears the gauge of the metal in both the hood & bowl is less. I suspect the robustness of this grill will not meet that of old one. Note: the only reason I'm replacing the old grill is that for the first time ever with any MECO grill I've owned, the bottom of the bowl has corroded so badly that I'm afraid it might collapse through while grilling. I prefer not to test my theory any longer.
Having said all that: as stated earlier, I do enjoy using my MECO grill as the features are to my liking. I wish the quality was the same. This will be my last MECO.....hope it lasts.....Meco Series 4100 Model 4106 Square Utility Charcoal Grill, Red

This is a wonderful charcoal grill with an adjustable grill surface which was the main feature we were interested in-this feature is apparently hard to find-my husband's family has used this grill for years, and we are happy to have one of our own now!
