Argh! It's bad enough that grill was a pain to actually buy, but now it's a pain to put together! Stupid bent and unsymmetrical metal parts. Waste me a good afternoon trying to put the thing together. And it's lopsided! It can't be used. I feel like kicking it in the propane tank and blowing it up.
