To sum this grill up in a single word I would use AWESOME. This grill cooks very nice and even no hot or cold spots to worry about. The way the grate is made leaves some really beautiful grill marks on your steaks and other meats. My charcoal use has also been cut in half. The only negative I have is that there is a small lip around the ash catch tray that holds alot of your charcoal ash but I just got a 3 inch paint brush for a buck and it cleans the ash right off.  If your a charcoal person I recommend this grill.
