After three months of use I am so happy with this grill. It replaces the 22" kettle I have had for years. Being able to start the charcoal by pushing a button is amazing. Then I can grill over charcoal and enjoy!. I am saving up to get a pizza insert, then I will have it all.
PS: I still use the old one for parties when I need more grill surface. I start the chimney in the performer and pour it into the old grill.
