This grill arrived in box and needed to be assembled.  It took me about 20  minutes to assemble - would probably take someone who is better at these things little less time.   The grill is sized that its easy to transport.  Lightweight.  Holds a fair amount of charcoal.  The best feature of this grill is that it has clasps that hold the lid onto the base. This makes it easy to transport with out making a mess.  Would recommend this grill to anyone - good value. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
