This little grill is terrific! It takes a bit getting used to the folding up/down mechanism; be careful of fingers, but it works great! Fits a lot on the grill surface, very convenient. We took to our vacation rental this year that only offers a charcoal grill - this was wonderful for quick grilling. Everyone loved it and it tucks nicely in my very small courtyard, so no obnoxious silver box obstructing the view!
