Got this for portability option due to its size; also so I could learn how to grill before getting a kettle-type grill! This one works very well, obvious quality, and support and recipes from Weber as well! I use this 2-3 times weekly. I like to lay aluminum foil on the bottom of the grill to catch ashes and to protect the bottom of the grill. I highly recommend this grill! Easy assembly. Thank You Weber!
