I looked at this grill for the longest time.  I finally pulled the trigger in very late August.  I don't know why I waited.  The grill has been great, I've done some burgers on it, dogs, pulled pork, fish, and Brats.  All have been great.  I'm still learning how long coals last, how many times they can be used and how many I may need to cook this or that as I've had a gas grill for the past 20 years.  I live in Ohio and the weather is the only thing preventing me from taking this to 5 stars.  Our winter this year came earlier and heavier than it has the past two.  Once I learn the intracacies of charcoal and using the gas ignition more efficiently I'm sure I'll bump this up to a 5.  The taste of the food on this is noticeable especially on chicken and burgers.  What a great grill, don't wait any longer just go buy it for the spring.
