This little cast iron grill is a wonder! I have two other charcoal grills (18 inch and 24 inch Weber kettle grills) but for a quick, casual dinner for the two of us, they take too long to get up to temperature (e.g., 40 minutes or more using a chimney fire starter like show on the left side of my picture) and consume too much charcoal. This new cast-iron grill only takes 15-18 minutes to get up to temperature using the same chimney referenced above. And it only needs 30-42 charcoal briquettes (instead of 120 or more for the larger grills.) Temperature control? Just be smart how you spread the burning charcoal as you dump it from the chimney into the grill! You don't really want to use fuel-soaked charcoal, do you? Yuck! That's a TERRIBLE method and means you're eating food that likely contains petrochemicals from the first starter! Instead, use a chimney made of sheet metal -- you put the cold coals in the top and some newspaper in the bottom. Light the paper and let it burn. You'll get the hang of it. Hey, sometimes I carefully cheat with a EGO 600 CFM battery powered blower at a really low speed setting to feed extra air into the chimney but do it very carefully!!! You don't want burning embers floating away or into your hair.

This is the only time I ever thought I would Wash my Grill in the sink, but here I am. The grill is big enough for two people easy and small enough to Rence off in the sink, also you can season it like a cast iron pan, just google how to season a cast iron pan.

Small but enough for many people.

Easy to use.

What I like with this grill is that my husband and I can bring this anywhere, it is easy to use and easy to clean!
