I was a little skeptical at first with this grill but decided to give it a try during a recent camping trip. The first thing I noticed was how lightweight and compact it is. It is nicely packaged and fairly easy to setup using the included instructions. It took a little longer than expected to get the charcoal pods lit but once it was fully heated up it actually grilled our food very well. I wouldn't recommend using this as your everyday grill but it's great when portability is needed (camping, boating, tailgating, etc). It's meant for those places where it would be difficult to bring a full size grill. Overall, this is a very convenient and easy to use grilling kit that I would recommend for anyone looking to grill on the go! Just remember that you will need to purchase extra charcoal pods for each use, which could quickly add up in cost over time. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
