I was hesitant to buy this but did allot of research. I figured why not, due to I hate using grills but wanted that type of food, and not at a restaurant. So, I bought it and it did what was advertised. I cooked some brats and they were amazing!!! Had that burntness to them, which was what I wanted. I'm going to be cooking pork chops and steaks next then get the recipe book out and try out some new stuff on it. Overall, I'm super happy with this and definitely would recommend too to anyone (especially those in apartments or just hate the grill).
