I bought this on the advice of a couple of friends, and it works well. The instructions that come with it are very limited, both for installation and cooking. I went to Youtube and the Char-Broil web site and that helped, but better documentation that comes with the fryer are needed.

I just spoke to one of the friends today and he gave me some advice on when to use the lid. That shouldn't be a secret, or something you have to go to Youtube or friends to find.
