This grill is perfect if you go camping a lot and need a portable grill to make your food but has little use outside of that. The grill only uses the charcoal pods it comes with so if you run out on a camping trip you are fresh out of luck as the grill could be messed up using other sources of charcoal. The grill is still useful if you have all the pods you need and is nice to have just in case. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
