I bought this grill for easy of use when grilling with charcoal for a meal for two. It is just the right size for the meal items. The only negative I have experienced is keeping the grill temperature hot enough when the lid is in place, even with the vents fully open. After I have had the opportunity to use the grill more, I'm sure I will be able to better control the heat. The grill is easy to assemble and is very sturdy.
