Used to cook out on charcoal or wood grills. As we are parttime living  here in AL now in Condo where no other than Electric Grills are allowed we decided to buy this grill. As somebody who likes to do a fire and strongly believe in such grills we were very skeptical about an electric one. After about 1 month using this Q2400 I can say - very very happy with the product and the results. Following the instructions which came with the grill you get a great steak with a great flavor. Considering to get such a grill for a quick cookout at home of course in addition to the smocker.
