I bought a Charbroil one for $100, and spent 2 hours finding out I couldn't get past step 2 of 8 because the directions were terrible, and some pieces and holes were missing. I returned the parts in a heap to Menards, and could see the employees making fun of me. So, I exchanged it for a more expensive one they said would be easier, and it was, but it was still a complete nightmare which took me 4 hours. Again, parts were missing and steps were missing from the assembly diagrams. Is this common?

I was thinking about Homer Simpson too...
I have put together Grills too. And yes they can be a pain...
Your better off looking at the picture on the box to find out where the parts go instead of looking at the directions.
Sometimes they throw extra screws in there to mess with you.
Just make sure you get the wheels put on and the handle. and the Propane support on there good "enough" You get what you pay for...

I agree with 'James S'. directions are never that good. manufacturers try to cut corners and build boxes, instructions, and parts that fit a variety of models. search the web for blogs on your particular grill and you might find help. also if they have a support/hot line, give it a ring.
as for the cackling clerks at Menards, you can ignore them or ask them to put it together.
