Haven't had it long but so far great. Steaks, chicken and burger are easy. The only thing I've had a little challenge with is baskets. I have a fish basket and a vegetable basket and when the lid is closed on the handle it raises them off the grates. My old cheapo grill had a lighter lid that didn't. This heavier duty grill is fabulous but perhaps a notch somewhere in the lid or firebox to allow for basket handles would be great!
