Heavy Duty Park Style Grill,
December 25, 2006
By htignor
from Tennessee
"I am a die hard charcoal only grill man--no propane for me! As such I wanted a heavy duty grill that I could permanently locate and that would withstand the weather. I chose this particular grill because I have used this type of grill in state parks before and have been impressed with their durability and function. I was not disappointed, this grill is everything expected! I have been extremely satisfied with this product. If you enjoy charcoal as opposed to propane like me, then I highly reccommend this grill! Tip: I buried a piece of PVC pipe slightly larger than the base of the grill about 2 inches below ground level and set it in concrete, after the concrete set up I simply slipped the base of the grill into the PVC pipe sealed around it with silicone and covered with dirt. Now when I move I can easily take my awesome grill with me. Hope this helps. Enjoy!!"

Great Grill,
October 19, 2009
By CNYBOB
from Central NY
"I installed this grill at my Hunting Camp and absolutely love it. It is built very well and easy to take inside when we leave camp. All my hunting buddies now bring steaks and beer to camp and this grill is lit every night that we are there. The price on the grill can't be beat, especially since I haven't had to buy camp meat since the first time we using it."

"OK you have already heard that this is the best by far and will last a lifetime. Well take your used cooking oil and paint it on your grill all over inside and out and keep it looking like new!"

Neat item but question longevity,
July 13, 2009
By caposto
from East Bay, CA
"This is a great park style grill that is very authentic, sturdy, and heavy. Its a conversation piece too. I've mounted the pole in concrete and it looks great. Its held up ok in the elements so far, but there were some chips on it that have rusted a bit so my only concern is longevity. Also, be carefull not to slide the grill forward while shifting around your cooking as it will drop to the lowest level - There's nothing to lock it in place. One more thing, the grill spins on the pole so you can position it to block the wind on the coals, but you can't lock it into position and it will move on you as you're cooking. There is one lockable position only and the pin they give you is way too small."

By Philfan

"Great Item at the best price on the net that I could find.Very high quality and built with heavy guage steel.I would expect that this will last for many years as I have seen these used in local parks and playgrounds that I have visited over the years.Ajustable and flip up rack make for easy clean out and cooking height. Don't think you will find a better deal than this one. Fantastic !!!!!"

THIS THING ROCKS!,
November 24, 2008
By Crusty
from Walkerton,Ontario,Canada
"This is the coolest Item I have bought from Northern since my 30 Ton log splitter. I look forward to running it every night , summer or winter. Heavy Duty is what it is and then some. You could have a camp fire in this thing and make bacon & eggs in the morning it's that thick!
I did find the mounting instructions a little peculiar, park style grills are supposed to be low to the ground, but before I poured the concrete I decided to increase the height of it a little. I never bothered installing the lock pin, it has enough weight to hold it on it's pedestal and makes it easy to remove for the extreme winter months where I am at.
Everyone who comes over for a Q in the summer just loves it!

By JKetchum

"My husband has wanted a park grill for many years and so for his birthday this year I purchased this one for him; I can not get him to come inside anymore as all he wants to do is cook on this grill.
My best friends husband saw the grill and he got one for his birthday as well; she is having the same issue with her husband. Oh well, at least we girls now have control of the T.V. remote"

Not what expected,
November 17, 2008
By Spectrum
from Baxter, Minnesota
"In today's times most items on the market are manufactured so they will break or fail in a short time. Then we just go out and purchase another item.
This is not the case with the Heavy Duty Park Style Grill. First of all it's so heavy one person will have a difficult time carrying it from their vehicle to where they will assemble it. First inspection will show extremely heavy steel and hardware is used for ALL the construction of the grill. When you plant it in the ground make sure this is where you will want it for many years (decades) in the future as this grill is built to last a lifetime.
There are a number of other reviews as to various mounting options so I will not go into that in detail at this time. I personally purchased a slightly larger 2 foot length of pipe and set that in a bag of concrete. I then drilled a hole and welded a nut for a 3/8 inch bolt to hold the grill mounting tube to the mounting pipe and allow height adjustment. This fall I just loosened the bolt, slid the grill out and stored it in the outdoor shed. In more temperate climates I would just leave it in the ground all year.
It's very gratifying to see a well designed and durable product just like the good old days. You will not need to replace this grill in the near future."

Awesome Grill,
August 15, 2008
By manlyman
from Fredericksburg, TX
"Very heavy-duty, but the best part is the highly adjustable grate. Depending on how much charcoal you throw on and what level you set the grate at, you can grill anything to perfection. Set a pvc sleeve in the ground for mounting. Use it in several locations. Take it with you when you move. This should last a lifetime."

"I have wanted one of these grills for quite sometime. However, they were always too expensive for my tastes. This one is everything I wanted in a "park style" grill. Setup was easy. I installed it one Saturday morning in about an hour and was cokking on it that afternoon."

Park Grill,
June 26, 2008
By JMike
from Charleston, WV
"Grill is what you said - HEAVY DUTY! I wanted the option of using the grill on a couple of different sites on our property. A 2.5" Schedule 40 PVC conduit makes a perfect sleeve for the mounting post. Simply bury and concrete the sleeve - you now can transport the grill to another site, move it for winter, etc. Thanks!"

Heavy Duty Park Style Grill,
October 8, 2007
By Machere
from Zirconia, NC
"My wife and I do a lot of camping and we have used this same grill at several state parks. We asked the Ranger in Colorado where they purchased this great grill and we were told to oder online at Northern Tool. We ordered our Heavy Duty Park Style Grill and found it to be exactly like the ones we loved to use at the State Parks we stayed at. The grill we bought was mounted by digging a two foot deep hole and using a bag of concrete mix and a level to install the post. The grill mounts on the post with a quick release pin in case you want to store the grill inside when not home. It cleans up easy and is very easy to use. The extra heavy duty steel it is made from should last for many years. The only thing missing is a cover to keep it out of the weather when not being used."
