Great to have portable grill - has a real slim silhouette folded, not all that heavy for what it is, assembles fast, easy clean and store - I fired this up 4 days in a row, letting it get charcoal lit and letting it burn out - minimal bowing of metal, I still got it back in the original box - for $20 it's a bargain and a steal ...
