I was excited to receive and try out this portable grill. The biggest plus point for me is that it is portable. We don't have a deck/patio in the backyard so we tried this out in the garage.  It's a good gas grill that heats up pretty fast. I was a bit worried about the plastic parts heating up, but for the first use it was quite ok. Since we don't really grill often, this was just what we needed for our small family. And it's great for taking along on a camping trip! The grill heated up pretty evenly. Only complaint would be a better design for the drip pan.
