In Wisconsin we love to grill out all year round.  The biggest issue we run into when using charcoal is it takes so long to get the grill going.  Our problem has been solved with the Hero Grilling system.  After lighting the four corners of the charcoal pod within ten minutes the Hero Grilling system was ready to use.  Since it was our first time using the system we started with hog dogs.  Nothing tastes better than a pure beef hot dog fresh off the grill with the grill lines and no taste of lighter fluid!   Clean up was a breeze, when we were finished we poured water over the charcoal pad, let the grate cool and out it in the dishwasher.  Packed everything up in the portable carrying and storing case that is lightweight rugged and waterproof.
