We like this grill alot! We can make burgers, hotdogs quick. I can take the small portable propane cannister when at the beach or camping. At home I have a hose hookup to go to the big propane tank. Small easy to use. It doesnt have a thermometer but its ok we are cooking quick stuff, and it does the job. I place my grill on a table so i didnt need the upgraded version with the side foldable trays.
