Indira selected this grill for it small size and when necessary, its poilbaitrty.the grill is easy to assemble. the folding legs are already attatched. inside, a flame shield easily bends into slots and the grill is laid into place.i have used the small propane canisters for cooking and currently have a 20lb tank attatched to mine.the grill does best at little better than 5 minutes or so of preheating at medium setting. i have cooked frozen thick pork chops to perfection. frozen chicken breasts seem to take a bit longer .and sometimes havent browned the way i would prefer. does burgers and sausages well (but they seem to take awhile) but grease can flare up with burgers on occasion despite the flame shield.the grill is easy to light via a left side port.i have dropped in a few hickory chips (3 to 4 at a time in the front and back) through the grill (so they fell below the flame shield) while cooking to get a more smokey flavor .and the chips did ignite and enhanced the flavor though i dont this this is reccomended in the manual.not particulary heavy duty but not too flimsy either.
