We bought our bbq nearly a year ago and love it. It gets up to temperature quickly and the heat control via 3 heat zone dials is reliable to set a consistent temperature even in the cold winter months. Also have been pleased with the double sided cast iron grill. We will cook burgers and steaks on one side of the grill and chicken or fish on the other side. We bought a broil king cover to fit and it has definitely helped to keep our grill in great condition.
