I received this grill as a father's day gift from my children, I have used only propane grills over the last 25 years because charcoal always seemed to messy and I couldn't control the heat, this grill has proven me wrong as I can control the heat quite easily , and no mess I added extra charcoal thru the door and and just let the grill cool down I remoed ash drawer and dumped it out, wiped it out and re-installed, then wiped interior of grill including grates.Easy assembly, and definitely well made would recommend to everyone .Note:Remember to season your new grill before using, I did and food tasted awesome --Rick in Illinois
