Our verdict
The Megamaster 720-1095 packs five burners and 621 square inches of cast iron cooking surface into an 82-pound frame for $359.97, making it one of the more spatially generous options in its price range. The alloy steel and cast iron construction is a real plus, though with only nine reviews so far, the long-term track record is still being written.

9 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
['Five burners across 621 square inches is a meaningful amount of cooking real estate for under $400. Megamaster built this grill from alloy steel with cast iron grates, a combination that handles repeated heat cycles better than thin stamped steel. The freestanding frame measures 25.03 x 52.04 x 46.69 inches and weighs 82 pounds, so it is a permanent-patio piece rather than something you move around casually.', 'Cast iron grates at this price point are a genuine value proposition. They retain heat better than porcelain or plain steel grates, which means better sear marks on steaks and chicken thighs. They do require upkeep: rinse, dry, and oil them regularly to prevent rust, especially in humid climates. Five independent burners let you run multiple temperature zones at once, which is useful for cooking different proteins simultaneously or doing a reverse sear.', 'With only nine reviews at a 4.3-star average, there is limited feedback to draw from. The rating is decent, but buyers should treat this as an early-adopter purchase and check for updated review counts before committing at $359.97.']

Performance notes
Five propane burners spread across 621 square inches of cast iron grating. Cast iron grates heat unevenly during the first few minutes but retain temperature well once fully warmed, typically 10 to 15 minutes of preheat. The 52-inch wide frame provides room to run a high-heat searing zone and a low-heat finishing zone simultaneously. At 82 pounds assembled, the grill stays planted during use. No BTU figure is listed, so heat-up speed relative to competitors cannot be directly compared.
What buyers say
Nine reviews averaging 4.3 stars is a thin but mildly positive early sample. Buyers who have reviewed it seem satisfied with the grate quality and overall size. The low review count means a few more critical opinions could shift the average meaningfully, so revisiting the current rating before purchase is worthwhile.

Frequently asked questions
Is 621 sq in enough for a large cookout?
621 square inches can comfortably fit 18 to 20 standard-sized burgers or eight to ten chicken breasts at once. For a gathering of 10 to 12 people, you can manage most of the cooking in one or two rounds rather than multiple batches. For very large groups of 15 or more, you may still need to cook in shifts.
How do I maintain cast iron grates on this grill?
After each use, let the grates cool slightly, then scrub off food residue with a grill brush while still warm. Rinse quickly if needed, then dry them thoroughly, either with a cloth or a few minutes on low heat. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the surface before storage to prevent rust. Repeat this after every wash and the grates will last for years.
Does the Megamaster 720-1095 include a side burner?
A side burner is not mentioned in the published specifications. The five burners listed appear to refer to the main cooking grate burners. Check the product listing for an updated accessories list if a side burner is important to your setup.
