Was looking to upgrade my 15 year old, bargain grill that still work very well. What a mistake - from the difficult assembly to wildly inconsistent heat dispersion, I regret buying this hunk of garbage every time I am forced to use it. If I could afford to replace it, it would be out for garbage collection immediately. Requires CONSTANT attention to avoid burnt or raw food, constantly having to move things around. Look elsewhere if considering this piece of trash.
