I am very disappointed with this grill.  It does not "grill" the meat, but rather steams it.  Because I ordered it almost a year ago and then ended out having to leave the country, I wasn't able to try it 'til just a short time ago.  I'll try to return it but, if it's too late, will likely just give it away or donate it somewhere.  I had high hopes but it was a total waste of money for me.
