I’ve had mine for 2 years now and it cooks great when the burner tube doesn’t plug up from drippings. I have to take the tube out and flush it out then clean the hole area with a wire wheel on my bench grinder. The problem is this is my camping grill so I don’t have that option until I’m home. It’s okay for steaks or other things that aren’t messy but it’s horrible for things like chicken with a marinade. If you don’t take the grates off to clean them all that stuff falls down and plugs the holes also.
