Is this grill pretty rugged and built for the elements?

I would invest in a cheap cover to be honest. The one I got on Amazon works great, even in high wind. Brinkmann 812-1092-S Universal Grill Cover, 55-Inch. It has a draw string on the bottom to keep it in place nicely.

No, it's cheap, flimsy and should be kept covered if you want it to last more than a year. I keep mine in the garage and pull it out to use it, then put it back when it cools.

This is a typical inexpensive grill. I purchased this with the idea of getting 2-3 years out of it. The construction is okay. It is small and looks nice. It is light weight and is easily moved around. I live in New England. I never cover my grills. I buy inexpensive grills such as this and they usually last 2-3 years sitting on my deck in all the elements. I suppose if it is under a roof, in an enclosed area such as a screened deck, or covers after use it may last longer.

I haven't had that problem. The paint on this grill is holding up nicely for me.

No rust so far. This is our first season with this model; however, the National Weather Service said that June 2013 was the rainiest on record. We keep it outside, but we do cover it with the Weber cover that is made for it. We've been extremely happy with this grill.

No. the grill is as you see it. Ours stays outside all year long without problems. It is the best grill you will ever own.

It was pretty high. It would prob be ok. I had to return this grill after three weeks the gas wasn't getting to the burners. Amazon was great about it. Not sure if I just got a bad one but ended up springing for a weber and it cooks much more even and this one the flames were directly on the food. The grill was pretty dirty after only a few uses. Get a weber.

I don't cook much but my wife is an iron chef and she hasn't had a problem with this grill. We need it because of the apartment law in CA. Chicken, prime rib, links, rib eye, etc. We use it a few times a week. And it's not expensive so give it a try

This is electric, it is not meant to be used in rain. But it is a nice grill. I also found if it is very windy it a longer time to cook I presume because the wind cools it down.

I'm in the northeast, so I don't have salt, but it did get rained on quite a few times before I found a cover with no signs of corrosion. The grill body seems to have a very durable painted finish.

During break in it will smoke quite a bit. Almost a "steam like" smoke. After several uses it should be fine. I've also learned to cook with a lower temp setting since it cooks considerably faster than a standard grill.

The weight of this grill is perfect. We take it to the beach all the time. It can get pretty windy there at times. We absolutely love this grill. I did alot of research before buying this grill. We use it at our camp site as well. Highly recommend if your looking for a good quality charcoal grill that will last for years and be portable.

yes or no it is not completely smokeness just a little bit. I can say is acceptable standard. make sure after use put grill on low heat use paper towel and water only very easy to clean

It seems to be very rugged. I have owned mine for about a year in very rough and dusty conditions. It has performed very well. K4TOE

I've had mine for a year and the paint has stayed pretty well in-tact. It's an awesome grill, perfect to cook over a fire with. We usually cook on aluminum foil to keep the grill a little cleaner.

Not too bad to clean because it's outdoors. It will grill without sear marks. I would suggest keeping the griddle inside because mine did rust even being seasoned with oil and a cover!

Yes it's pretty sturdy. I bought a cover because it's made of steel, and I keep it outside. I don't want it to rust too much. The only thing I don't like is when your cooking the grease from the meat drips off the hood when lifted all the way back and drops down to the wheel back wheel. Hope this helps.
