We recently downsized & needed a smaller grill. Also we were building a new house so I was able to have the electrician install a 220 volt outlet near where I put my grill. Therefore I didn't need any extension cords to grill. So far we have had chicken, lamb chops & steak grilled to perfection. I like having the light on the thermostat to let me know when the grill is ready. The only thing I would like to have is a shelf that I could attach to one side so I can keep my grilling tools close.
