My wife bought this for me several years ago for my birthday. After decades of cooking on gas grills, I needed to get back to my basics of cooking on charcoal like I did before gas grill were even available. This unit has has all the basics covered and more. Accessories such as the Do Joe, Jotisserie, Napolean basket make this about as versatile as you can get if you are a backyard barbecue wanna be like me.
