I bought this grill for my boyfriend a month ago. He originally wanted a gas grill because he thought it would be easier to use. I read a ton of reviews saying a Weber charcoal grill was the way to go. Also, that their Fire Starter helps with getting/keeping the charcoal lit. We couldn’t be happier with this purchase. My boyfriend constantly gets compliments of the size of the grill and we grill every weekend! 5 stars from us!
