comment

" ...  So far it's been easy to clean and maintain, lighting charcoal is easy if you buy a chimney, and the two air vents allow slight adjustments to temperature. ... I'm no grilling expect, but as an amateur this is easy-to-use, not difficult to clean, and super portable (I bought a bag to carry it is as well, not expensive at all!) ... It's my first charcoal grill, so the process of figuring out how to light it, clean it, etc.  ...  "
