We de used to break this bay boy out on a cold wet day for some barbque. This item may look small but it gives out so much power! It did everything to the chicken my husband wanted it to do in little to no time. Maybe even faster than our regular grill. You can fit 4-6 fair sized pieces of meat at a time and it cooks them all evenly. Very happy with it. Can't wait to take it to the beach!
