" ...  The fire is pretty close to the grill rack, so grill on low heat or your meat will cook unevenly and overly charred. ... Of course if you are wanting a gourmet grill for gourmet grilling, you're gonna have to spend $400 plus or so.  ...  "
comment

" ...  It doesn't feel cheap, but it also doesn't feel super heavy duty, and a few nights out in the rain would probably put some wear/tear on it. ... The propane hookup, for example, is almost completely exposed with the open design, and that's probably not something you want getting weathered or damaged.  ...  "

Cleaning the inside of the grill is also a breeze, as the grilling surface just lifts out of the barbecue and can be set aside while you clean under and around it with a paper towel or sponge.  ...  "
