I was so skeptical of this little grill being able to cook well that I had my gas grill ready to use as a backup. I am happy to say the HERO grill worked perfectly and our food tasted SO good! I love that the grill is compact and dishwasher safe. It is a little expensive for the charcoal pods, but the convenience makes it worth it. The grill was sturdy, heated up quickly, and cooked evenly‚Äîmy super picky toddler even ate her hotdog, which she usually wont touch! Even though the charcoal pods are a little pricey, I highly recommend this grill to those who hunt, fish, camp, etc. because the convenience is really nice.
