I love the idea of a small, portable grill that is easy to set up and take down, use and clean. Due to the disposable burner being in a sealed plastic bag, I believe that these are a great idea for an emergency preparedness kit. My only issue is that the refills are only available online which is not very efficient for regular usage. I do want to get more of the refills and keep this for an emergency or the occasional camping trip kind of use, rather than the regular use for dorms and apartments that is advertised. Also, the base gets very hot so it is best used on the cement or dirt outside and not on a table or wood porch. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
