I am pleased that I don’t have to go outside; fill the grill with charcoal and lighter fluid; then have to stand over it and make sure the meat is cooking like it should. When I want a steak or hamburger, all I have to do is pull out the Griddler and 20 minuets later, I am ready to eat. Am very pleased tha the Griddler is large enough to cook 4 bun-size hamburgers at the same time.
