I am not sure about this grill after owning it 6 months. I have cooked boneless chicken and steak on it many times and after heating for the first 15 minutes (as others have said let it heat up) the food is well cooked and tastes great. Why am I not sure then? Well after only 4 months of light use (mayb 10 times used) it would not turn on. I have received the replacement part and have installed it. I then cooked some steaks and they came out great. I will give it 3 stars now and let you know in another few months if it truly performs like a Webber.
