This was what I needed, such a big upgrade over my old one. First off, it was easy to assemble. I actually assembled it myself in less than an hr. The design is beautiful and I've gotten compliments from friends and family. It cooks the meat fast but I do notice meats placed on the edges takes longer to cook. The meat overall does get cook fast and stays juicey. I love how much room there is to cook. The wheels on these makes it easy to move it around my back yard. Overall this is a must have and I'm very happy.
