If you are in a multi unit condo or other situation where a gas grill is not permitted, this may be the grill for you. I read reviews on various electric grills and had concerns about adequate temperature and fast temperature drop when the cover was up.  well, the folks at Weber must have really put some good minds on those issues.  Steaks, salmon, chicken?  I have had great success first time out with each of these. It is easily large enough to cook for six people. I popped for the Weber grill stand ($79) too. It is nice the way the grill latches securely onto the stand.
