I was really impressed upon taking this out of the package at how well made it is. Its super easy to set up. Once its all set up and you start lighting, it heats up ready to go in about 5 minutes or so. Its super easy to use and the food cooks through thoroughly and evenly. I was impressed at how easy clean up was too. I just dispose of the coals after I dump water and theyre cooled completely, and then everything else goes neatly back into its carrying briefcase! I love it and recommend for anyone who likes to cook meals on the go!
