I tried Hero Grill and was pleasantly surprised at how quick it lit up and was ready for cooking. The directions are clear and easy to follow. We tried cooking 4 - 6oz. burgers on it. I have to say that if it weren't so cold outside the day we tried it, our burgers would have cooked perfectly. It was 34 degrees with a windchill of 24 outside. The burgers started cooking, the grease from the burgers caused some nice flames to form inside the grill, but the outside air just kept cooling the tops of the burgers so they never got to the right temperature. We ended up bringing our burgers inside to finish cooking on the stove so we could add cheese to them. I do suggest maybe adding a dome cover to place over the grill for anyone planning to use the grill at cold weather events to help hold the heat in so meats are cooked to the proper temperatures. But the carrying case is really nice and having a cutting board with it is nice too for holding food or prep cutting.
