Set up was so simple. I was adding charcoal in less than a half hour. I've used it 12 times and still on the same back of charcoal. Cooked Strips, Burgers, Chicken Breast, Fish, Italian Sausage, Veggies..and more. Easy to use, less charcoal, better control, clean up is the best I've ever seen...This really is an amazing grill and for the money it's a no brainer.
