This product cooks evenly! Perfect steaks, burgers, veggies, etc. The charcoal cooks slower than most. I'm very pleased to see the that the ash pan is larger than usual, also. I can even do beer can chicken and entire hens! Love this product. For all people that claim this product is wobbly, get out a wrench and tighten them! We are using it again, soon for hurricane Matthew. Scared for the hurricane, excited for the grill. lol
