Can't Find Parts or shipping is ridiculous

Would Not Recommend

Contacted Master Forge to purchase parts today. They advised me that to ship the parts from Michigan to Colorado it would be $122.00. The parts were only going to be $89.49 and one of them may not be here for 30-60 days. This is a rip off. The only option is Fedex for shipping as I asked if there was another option. Don't buy this unless you want to buy another grill for the cost of the parts you may need to order over the years! Have already spent almost $300.00 on parts already ! Grill ...

Almost impossible to replace parts

Would Not Recommend

I just took the gas grill apart as the igniter quit working. The burners are clogged with metal. The heat shields are burnt out. The aluminum on the grates is pealing. The thermocouple for the heater on the back wall no longer works. I am very handy, but it took us about 3 hours to tear the unit apart to get to the igniter and thermocouple. This is my main complaint, as it is a real challenge to replace the thermocouple. Now I need to find replacement parts but BBQ suppliers do not carry many of...

The worlds biggest piece of crap

Would Not Recommend

Purchased about 3 yrs ago. Called this company in the very beginning to advise them how unhappy I was with their products. We bought new covers at 150.00 as the original dry rotted. Shortly there after all of the pieces started to rust at the bottom of the bases, where the stainless steel and plastic met. I advised the company several times. I was told I would have to pay for this products defect. I loved the way the outdoor kitchen looked and was very excited to own it. Now when I look at i...

Best investment ever

I waited a year before making this review. This is how my setup looks a year after installation. Great as the first day it was put in. I can’t say enough about this set. It has held up extremely well over the last year. Previous years I would have to replace my units every season. If your properly maintain it then it will last a long time. I was in the market for a built in summer kitchen and they started at $4k without granite countertop. I love that this is modular So I can move the ind...

2 year life span

Would Not Recommend

First year it was a great grill! After 2 years EVERYTHING started to rust and the grates have delaminated with replacement parts. The burners are not consistantly now and lighting it with ignition starter only works on 2 of the 4 burners. Save your money and get a cheaper brand, it will last MUCH longer. Very much regret this purchase!

it will not last

Would Not Recommend

Five years ago I was in the market for a high quality stainless steel gas grill, one that I hoped would last a lifetime. I purchased your five burner unit as it touted having all stainless steel construction. I built my outdoor kitchen around this grill and am very deliberate to keep it covered when not in use. Last year, the bottom tray that separates the burning chamber from the take just disintegrated and rusted away. I couldn’t believe it. You can see directly from the grated to the tank, wh...

Just like the others

Would Not Recommend

Looks are deceiving! Grill looks great, but after 5 years, interior of lid is rusted out, burners are rusting, as well as the heat plates. I'd be happy to buy internal parts, but there are none that meet the same dimensions. For what I paid, I expected 8 years, but this is cheap interior parts and I will never again buy Master Forge, let alone buy a grill from Lowe's. Overall, poor experience!

Got replacement parts no problem!

Bought the entire set 5 years ago. Grates started falling apart. Flame tamers as well. Called the number in the owners manual. Got all replacement parts AND the main burners were under 10 yr warranty so those were completely free. Great product and great customer service!

DO NOT BUY THIS GRILL EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Would Not Recommend

I bought this supposedly outdoor kitchen less than a year ago and it is rusted out almost completely. Neither Lowes nor the manufacturer will do anything about it because they say that rust is not covered under the warranty. It started to rust within six months after I purchased it. Out of the eleven months I have owned it the grill has been mostly covered due to my travel schedule. I have used it maybe a dozen times. They marketed and sold this as an outdoor kitchen but it is worthless. My...

Looks Great - Lacks Quality

Would Not Recommend

I purchased the 3-burner Master Forge grill in March of 2014 along with the 3-burner top and sink combo. I also purchased the 3-year extended protection plan. The grill looked great and worked fine for the first couple of years; however, I had to replace the burners and heat shields inside of 3 years. The bottom of the grill interior is almost burnt out at this point. The worst part is the frame is totally rusted. I've attached pictures of the front of the grill, the back and the interior. ...
