I used this about 5 times in the last month. I'm pleased with the quality and the grilling experience. It can get really hot but it does take time to warm up. The grill provides even heat from back to from and side to side. I noticed this when cooking 4 brats and each cooked evenly from end to end. It make grill marks as advertised. The tank restraint is not effective in holding onto the tank and it makes a lot of noise when moving but the tank is secure in the bottom shelf. I added a few washers to the restraint to be able to tighten the bracket so it holds the tank without rattling.
