Let’s be honest, it’s not as good as charcoal, pellet, or gas.  But, if you’re in a situation in which those aren’t options (such as a condo), this is great.  It gets to 500+ with no problem. So far, I’ve cooked a couple of chicken breasts, chicken wings, and fajitas (used the griddle plate).  All have been excellent. 

There are a couple of quibbles, though.  They’re not problems as much as a wish list.
1. Dual burners for direct/indirect cooking
2. Have the control dial go from 1 to 10 for a little more control. 
3. Maybe raise the hood a little to accommodate larger cuts of meat - although, that may reduce the top temperature since there would be more air to heat.  

Otherwise, it’s great.
