This was not cheap, and for the price I expected more. Two design issues: 1, the broiler heats unevenly. All the heat is concentrated int eh middle so if you want any charring you have to rotate your food around to get it under the burner evenly. Not unusual, but particularly marked in this instance. 2, the burners don't go low enough for any real slow cooking. Stocks and stews are problematic.  This is an LP conversion so that may have something to do with it.
