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.

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).
