this grilling system just proved to me that grilling can be easily done all year long! I love the compact size and that is required literally no set up, you just unfold the legs, light the charcoal pod and ta-da! this would be the perfect system for avid campers, tailgaters and lovers of charcoal grills! the charcoal pod heats up so much faster than your normal charcoal grilling and still delivers that yummy, smoky taste! I loved the travel case and bamboo cutting board, which is perfect for food prep. I also love the spatula that fits perfectly between the grates for easy flipping. but the best part is the grill is dishwasher safe, so no hand washing! if you're looking for a great, unique christmas gift then look no further!
