We have used this BBQ for the entire summer/fall season and are very happy with it.  I love the traditional charcoal taste you get from this beautiful and well functional BBQ.  Just keep in mind that since this is not a gas BBQ, you need to be patient as it takes a while to get it going as all the charcoal has to heat up.  We make veggie burgers and sausages, vegetables, potatoes,  and even our homemade pizza in this BBQ.  The taste is amazing!
