Seriously you can do anything with this little guy. I definitely recommend using this with the charcoal baskets and chimney starter and you are good to go! I've been using one for years. I've grilled everything from burgs to kebabs, crab legs, steaks, pork chops, chicken, veg, tender loin, and many more items. Easy to control. I store it in the garage so it doesn't get weathered, and built a grill stand out of cement blocks for it. The lid holder is awesome for carrying it in/out. Add a remote thermometer like the iGrill 2 and you are ready to smoke. Reverse seared ribeyes using the cold grate method on this grill are second to none. Fuel consumption is extremely efficient! I am always amazed at how little fuel it takes to get smoking. One charcoal basket lasts a long time. I recommend smoking chips instead of chunks since there's not a lot of room between the grates. I just add more chips through the cooking grate as needed. Amazing results.
