The Megamaster 3 burner is a light, straightforward propane grill for households that want three-zone gas cooking without a heavyweight cart. It weighs about 20 kg, far less than most three or four-burner rivals, and its folding side shelves let it tuck into a smaller space when not in use. It suits a first gas barbecue or a garden where the grill gets moved around.

In its favour
- Folding side shelves let it tuck against a wall when not in use, handy on a narrow patio.
- The 434.3 sq in total cooking surface includes a warming rack for buns and resting meat.
- At 20 kg it is far easier to move than the cabinet grills in this guide.
Good to know
- Push and turn ignition is more basic than the electronic systems on the Weber models.
- The listing does not state grate material or spare part support in the UK.
Our take
Power and cooking space
Megamaster rates the grill at 30,000 BTU in total, which the specs convert to roughly 8.7 kW, from three burners. The total cooking surface is 434.3 sq in, about 2,800 cm², and that figure includes a warming rack above the main grate. The item highlight quotes 429 sq in, so expect a small variation depending on how it is measured.
Three burners are enough for a hot zone, a medium zone and a cooler area, so you can sear burgers while sausages cook through more gently.
Shelves, ignition and thermometer
Two side shelves fold down, which is useful on a narrow patio or for storage over winter. Ignition is the push and turn type: you press the knob in and rotate it to light each burner. It is a simple, familiar system, if less refined than the electronic ignitions on Weber's Spirit and Genesis models.
A built-in thermometer is mentioned in the item highlight to show lid temperature.
Assembly and what is missing
Assembly is required. The listing does not state the grate material, so you cannot tell from Amazon whether it is cast iron, enamelled steel or stainless. It also says nothing about grease management or UK spare part support. Those are worth confirming with the seller, especially if you plan to keep it for several seasons.
The modest weight is an advantage on paving that you might want to sweep or rearrange, and for anyone setting the grill up on their own.
Compared with the bigger gas grills
The Weber Spirit E-310 also has three burners and a stated 2,326 cm² area, adds Flavorizer bars and ten years of EU spare parts, but weighs 48 kg. The Campingaz 4 Series Classic WLD and Napoleon Freestyle 4 offer four burners and more than 12 kW, at more than twice the weight.
Verdict
The Megamaster 3 burner suits anyone who wants an easy-to-move three-burner gas grill with folding shelves and a warming rack. If long-term parts support and detailed specs matter, the Weber Spirit E-310 is the safer long-term buy, and if you often cook for a crowd, a four-burner such as the Napoleon Freestyle 4 offers more power.
