This bbq is perfect for our needs, living in a condo that prohibits gas grills. The Q comes almost completely assembled and you can be up and grilling within 10 minutes. Good tip,, put the handle on before connecting the lid to the body of the grill. We cooked two hamburgers in less than 10 minutes and they were terrific! Nice grill marks, but let the grill heat up for 20 minutes as is suggested. Clean up of the grill is wonderfully easy. All in all just a terrific bbq. If you are thinking about an electric grill, don't hesitate. This is the best!
