Tips you need to know I’ve had this grill for a few weeks now and have used it ten times. I love it. But there are a few things that might be helpful to know:1. I’m a grill newbie and debated for a LONG time about whether to get gas or charcoal. I wanted something hassle free so that I would use it frequently (I’m lazy) and all my friends said I needed a gas grill. But I couldn’t resist the charcoal grill flavor and bought this instead. Wow, it is easy to use and easy to clean! I don’t regret not getting a gas grill at all.2. That said, gas is definitely easier if you don’t want to think about grilling. To use charcoal I got online and studied two stage heating and where to place coals etc. This is pretty interesting and I enjoyed learning about cooking with charcoal. Note that although this grill makes it easy to cook with charcoal, learning to cook properly takes some studying to do it right and have amazing steaks (and once you learn the basics it becomes second nature).

Awesome grill The grill was very easy to assemble. It took less than an hour and it was ready to go. It’s very easy to use. You just put charcoal in the baskets, push the button on the gas ignitor, let the coals get cooking for about 5 minutes or so, turn off the gas and let the coals get up to temp. Then add your meat and cook. The work surface is plenty big enough to place platters, etc. I can’t find a single negative about this grill.UPDATE 4/1/13I have used the grill upwards of a dozen times and it is still functioning flawlessly. One thing I really like is that when I am done cooking, I just close the top and bottom vents and the charcoal extinguishes. This allows me to reuse some of the charcoal the next time I grill.Here is what I have found as far as time it takes to get from ignition to cooking. I turn on the flames and let them go for about 5 minutes to get the charcoal started. I then let cover the grill and let the charcoal sit for about 20-25 minutes to get up…
Awesome!!!!!!! 0
