We used this grill to cook chicken wings in the back porch! It was so easy to use and convenient for a small space! I really enjoyed the charcoal pod and how easy they were to use. The convenient carrying case and the wooden cutting board are also very nice and helpful for using in a tight space. The food tasted amazing especially using the charcoal pod. I think this would also be super helpful when it comes to going to the beach and grilling out on the beach I am excited to use it on our upcoming trip.
