I just put together my grill to use this coming weekend. We have a propain grill but I know the charcoal gives BBQ a real BBQ flavor to foods. I also wanted this 26" in grill to go with my 24" paella pan I ordered from Wayfair and they fit great together (only thing was I had to turn grill grate inside out because of the grill handles so the pan can sit perfectly on grill) I can't wait to take it outside and use it! I also purchased cover to protect grill.
