I'm 64 years old and have had a lot grills and stoves over these years. Both charcoal and propane, large and small. This grill shipped fast, well packaged, fast and easy to put together. Still learning how much charcoal is the right amount. Cooks well. I would recommend the center section of the upper grate have the cross bars placed closer together so hot dogs can be placed 'across' the grill. I love the portability and folded size. Very happy customer
