I picked this bbq up for additional room (have been using a weber go anywhere charcoal), and let me tell you....it’s perfect for that. I have a family of 4, and occasionally the kids bring friends on weekend camp trips. We have not run out of room. 
This bbq does run a tad bit hotter than my 22” weber. Figured so, with using the same amount of fuel for a lesser area. 
I did a few upgrades. Ordered a ash can and did away with the catch plate. Safer for camp, and better air flow control. I also upgraded the pull handle with the newer style that allows you to hang your cooking utincils. If you’re on the edge of buying this bbq, don’t hesitate.
