Can I use this grill without having the work tables open? Do they fold down or just up?

If you have them installed, they must be open when the grill is used, and remain open until the grill has cooled down after use. However, if there is a space problem, just don't install either or both of them. They can always be installed at a later time if things change and you would want them.

The work tables are hinged on each side, and they fold inward on TOP of the grill grate itself. So you have to wait until the grate is cool. They don't fold downward.

No the tables do not fold down. If you don't like them you could get the q100 instead, but you also lose the electric starter and taller lid. Like has been said you can take them off, but if it's a space issue, I wouldn't want to cook with it that close to something anyway.

No. They would burn, as they are stored, in the folded position, right over the grill. They fold out from the middle, to a level position. If you can picture 2, hard, sturdy, plastic, saloon doors, opening up towards you? You've got a pretty good idea. I hope that helps

As far as I know....they only go 1 way. They fold up when not using the grill and out when it's time to grill.

The plastic side tables fold inward, flat on top of the metal grill, then you close the lid over everything. So they must be folded out to use the grill, and can't be folded back in until the grill cools. I find them very convenient. If you really hated them, I suppose you could permanently remove them.

No because they fold into the grill for storage and fold out for grilling. Not sure if you can remove them because I haven't tried. They are so easy to flip out and back in.

They fold into the grill for storage, so yes they will be open when you grill. They just flip into the grill and out of the grill when cooking. No trouble at all. I never looked to see if you can remove them since they are so easy to use.

You can leave it in, just takes up some space so you can't use the entire grill space.

Yes, you can by tilting the grill-this grill is the best f or everything-my second one!

No they do not fold down. I am glad they don' because if they do, you could have something on the grill side and it falls down.

The grill itself has short legs (6 inches) which do fold up.We use our grill on the picnic table or on the ground set on its short legs. Love this small grill

It does not fold. There a two griddles that you can flip over for the grill side.

Yep, just pull them outward (away from the grill) and they fold down. They feel pretty sturdy too.

No it does not fold up, but it's pretty easy to take apart though I wouldn't do it too often so you don't strip the screws.

I don't have my owner's manual with me but that booklet does it explain it. I have never closed mine but it does fold and the legs fold.

It does not fold down. but this does not interrfer with end table lomps if you do not rotate it that far around

No, they do not fold up. They have to be assembled. They can be taken back apart, but everytime that is done they get more wobbly.

Yes, it folds up over the cover for easier storage. I use it with my gas grill for a few minutes for Fish and Burgers, a little longer for Steaks and Pork Tender Loins. I then finish it on the grill for a nice BBQ flavor. With the rack in place, it limits how thick the food is that you can use it for but for the above, it works great. Can't use it for a whole pork butt if that is what you want it for.

Unfortunately, you can't. The lower grate is the support and stabilizer for the entire grill. Without the grill, it would collapse. The upper spit/rotisserie doesn't provide any support. Even when the unit is assembled, it's very unstable. I've answered A LOT of questions about this grill. Please see my first post on why using it is toxic, and unsafe. I would consider a safer, more well built model. I tossed mine in the garbage.

The side tables do not fold down. Some of the Meco grills have wooden side tables, perhaps they fold?

I haven't used mine in awhile so I can't quite recall, but I know it wasn't difficult to fold. If I remember correctly, you can lift one side of the seat, and then it folds vertically, like a folding chair. You don't need any tools or anything.

This is a great grill very heavy nicely built!, the back is open and the sides do fold down. My friend is now buying this grill for her husband for Christmas!! Enjoy!

Both side trays are approx. 12" square and they both fold/flip down if needed. I normally keep the tray on the left flipped down because I don't use it. This definitely beats all the other grills that I've owned over the years and to top it off, no more propane tanks to run out of gas with or contend with.
