1. Prepare Before Buying

• Review assembly instructions online before purchasing a grill.
• Check the tools needed, estimated assembly time, and complexity of the process.
• Use assembly difficulty as a deciding factor if torn between models.

2. Inventory Parts First

• Unpack all items and inventory every piece.
• Inspect for shipping damage or missing parts.
• Lay everything out on a flat, clean surface for easy access during assembly.

3. Avoid Power Tools

• Use manual tools like screwdrivers, ratchet wrenches, and hex keys to prevent stripping screws or misalignment.
• Powder-coated or painted metal parts can make threading screws tricky; take your time with alignment.

4. Get a Partner’s Help

• Grills often include a heavy, preassembled firebox that requires two people to lift onto the stand.
• If no help is available, consider a smaller grill or professional assembly.

5. Complete Assembly Before Moving

• Assemble the grill fully before relocating to avoid structural damage.
• Exceptions: flame tamers and cooking grates, which are sturdy and can be installed later.

Bonus Tip: Shopping Options

• Online retailers often offer free shipping and a broader selection.
• In-store assembly services may have delays; DIY assembly saves time and transport effort.

With these tips, assembling your grill will be a breeze! Get ready to enjoy perfectly grilled meals in no time.
