Finally had a chance to try out the Hero Grill. This little thing packs some heat. The carrying case is heavy duty, sturdy, and durable. Lighting the grill was easy and interesting. The eco friendly capacity of the charcoal container and pods is very interesting. The grilling surface is pretty small, a little too small for hosting a party, but it was suitable for shrimp skewers as an appetizer. I can see this grill being convenient for a solo fishing day, or for two people. I will be using this in the future for day trips with my son.
