Americana The Swinger with an adjustable six-position cooking grid in red

like the adjustable grill

Works the way it needs to. Great quality nice size no rust yet

The lid was missing 2 small brackets that allows it to hinge open. Not surprising, the parts bag had a label that says it was packed in 2022. I think the date could have had something to do with it…..Cannot use unless you just cook open grill.

This new grill I ordered is similar to one like it I had for 30 years which finally rusted out after being outside the whole time. I bought a new one but the smoke outlet on top leaks badly when rained on thus wetting the charcoal inside rendering some of it unusable which is a real bummer. I had to buy a clay dish to put over it. Also the new grill is several inches shorter than the same grill of old. I guess they put shrinkflation to work. I put a 13 in square steel plate in the bottom of the original grill and put it into the new one. I am certain this added many years to its life. I sprayed heat resistant black paint to the bottom section again to add some life. This grill is vertcital, cooks well, and has good heat control which is why I bought another. I will extend the legs to get it at a more comfortable level. Never had a gas grill as will I never will. There were no missing parts and easy to put together

I had one of these in the past, and grilled on it until it finally wore out. I purchased a different grill that didn't have all of the features and wasn't happy. I had to go on-line to Amazon to find the Meco Stand Up grill because I couldn't find it in any local stores. I am so happy!! The only draw-back I found is the directions to put it together were somewhat confusing, so it took some time to get it right. But now that I have used it I'm very very happy, and use it a few times a week. The best feature is the movable grill function.

First off, we love Meco charcoal grills with their adjustable cooking surface. They don't take up a huge amount of space & are easily portable.That said, this current one ordered via Amazon, arrived dented & with parts missing. We decided that we could live with the dent - it's a modestly-priced grill after all, not a fancy automobile or motorbike. However, we DID need the 2 missing pieces in order for the grill to be functional.My 1st attempt to contact the company was via their e-mail, because I didn't want to wait a long time 'on hold. for a customer service rep....or so I thought. All I got from the e-mail attempt was a lousy 'bot response asking for more info & proof of purchase. I responded with the info & the 'bot sent the same request while telling me that a human would contact me shortly - which never happened. Finally gave up & did the call. Wait time wasn't too bad - the human customer service person actually sounded American & was very helpful. Took about a week for the parts to arrive.

Got this for my husband and he loves it...had the same one which finally had to quit using ...love being able to adjust the cooking grate.

I'm very pleased with it. The only negative is that the grate just rests on a couple thin metal bars and that means that it moves a little from side to side when using it or when cleaning it. A better design would have included a mechanism for it to "click" in place somehow. Those metal bars raise and lower the grate so keep in mind that it's the grate that's adjustable not the charcoal.
