Is it possible to assemble this grill without the side shelf? Would it leave any holes/gaps that affect performance?

Might look a little lop-sided but as far as I can tell it should function just fine. I'd plug the holes with bolts, either living with the excess length or cutting off the excess. If yo buy short replacements be sure to get the same heads and high quality bolts to prevent corrosion. Obviously the right side shelf is needed for the side burner. If you don't want either side shelf get the model (310?) without it and save a few dollars.

The Weber grill would work without the side shelf without affecting the performance. The gas section of the grill itself is self-contained, other than open screw holds, it would work without problems.

You could leave the left shelf off, but there will be open holes bit you could just add the screws in w/o the shelf. I don't think this would look good without the ss shelf, but u could still do it.

IIRC, the shelves are connected to the body and not the cooking portion. I can't remember the installation steps exactly, but it shouldn't affect performance.

There are holes into the main grill body that hold the bolts that secure the side shelves which you certainly want to cover in one way or another. You can see the bolts passing through into the body in the 5th picture, the top down view on the left side. You could install these provided bolts/washers to cover the holes and possible even go buy shorter bolts to reduce overhang since they won't be supporting the shelf anymore. I'd also bet that you could find a plug of some kind at either a home improvement store or an automotive store to use in place of the bolts, it just needs to be temp rated for at least 750 degrees.

Lack of side shelves will not impact main grill performance. However the side burner will not operate without the side shelf.

As listed previously the grill will function normally except for the side burner. There will be some open screw holes and you will not have a shelve to put stuff on. Be sure that if you do not put the side burner on that you cap the gas line. Enjoy the grill it works great.

The left side shelf can be removed/not assembled without affecting performance. The right side shelf has a burner.

No shelves. It is as pictured. Nice cart. But be sure it fits your grill model. It is designed for a larger Q grill ours was a smaller grill and it didn't fit. We had to put a shelf in it to hold the grill. It works, just not as designed. Also the " cover" for the tank is pretty much worthless. It doesn't stay on.

yes, you have to put it together. Most home centers sell grills with free assembly. Unless you are mechanically inclined and have about 3 hours, I suggest buying it at a retail store.

It can be "permanently" mounted with an included bolt and nut that runs through predrilled holes in the bottom of the grill and the top of the post. Be aware the post was not well made. It came in two pieces where one is screwed into the other but what is upsetting is that the "screw side" was very slightly angled so therefore the post was not straight. I could not use the post but luckly I had another that fit the bill. I was not about to get involved with returning a 40 pound grill because of the post but I would have had I not had another to take its place.

i dont think possible? the grill is where side poles go in at! i dont think it will stand without the grill!

I modified the MasterBuilt Side shelf for the cold smoker on the right. Simple to clamp in place and drill holes. I backed both sides of the bolts with large washers. It can still fold down when I am using the smoker in the normal way.

Unfortunately, you can't. The lower grate is the support and stabilizer for the entire grill. Without the grill, it would collapse. The upper spit/rotisserie doesn't provide any support. Even when the unit is assembled, it's very unstable. I've answered A LOT of questions about this grill. Please see my first post on why using it is toxic, and unsafe. I would consider a safer, more well built model. I tossed mine in the garbage.

Not too bad..just be careful where you put the screws on legs. They are not marked and you may have to move them when you go to attach the shelf on bottom. All in all it was pretty easy though.I would recommend

I don't nest it but I guess you could take a few screws out to nest. There are not many screws but it could get messy depending on how grimy the grill is.

The wiggle room is 1/16". You'll need 12 3/16". You could remove the rubber feet but then the open grill in the bottom might not get enough ventilation

It does come in pieces, but not an extreme amount, as the grill is relatively small. No tools are needed, just the instructions are mainly pictures. Took maybe 30 min to assemble.

Yes. The poles screw into each other with the shelves in between. You could just omit a shelf and screw the poles together. I'm not sure how deep the holes are so it may fit tight or there may be a little gap between the poles where the shelf goes, either way it would look fine just wanted to toss that out. Also it is very well built, but of course the shelves make it more sturdy so I would not leave many of them out. It's a great looking, solid stand and I'm very happy with the purchase. Good luck!

A standard slot-head screwdriver, a Phillips screw driver, either pliers or a small adjustable wrench. Find an area where you can un-pack everything and lay out the parts. Read through the instructions to become familiar with the parts before starting. There are quite a lot of parts, so don't get discouraged. :) Overall, the assembly is not difficult, but will take a few hours. My grill looks great, and works perfectly, and I am very happy with the final result.

I assembled it 4 years ago, so hard to remember. The shelf was definitely it's own piece that was slipped onto the legs. My guess is yes you could omit, but it would probably impact stability.

No, but it is not difficult to put together. Have the proper tools ready and get a container to keep the small parts in so you don't lose them. Takes a little while, but wotrth it. We are very happy with this grill.

It is very easy to do, the tricky part comes at. The end When you want to get the primo grill ínto the center of the table.I recomend to sepárate top And botóm to Make it easy, ir possible get help for this mounting.

Yes cutting is required. You have to cut everything out of the square surround and fit this grill into it. You also have to line it up and center it inside the surround to mark the brackets that actually hold it in place.It sounds more complicated than it really is.The bottom grill is pretty simple.
