(More customer reviews)I bought this grill mostly because of its lower price and small size. When I used it, however, the charcoals burned out quickly and never became hot enough to cook anything. Although I've used charcoal grills for years, I tried several solutions thinking that the problems could be with me. These solutions all ended with the same result: charcoals lit up fine, but burned out quickly and produced very little heat.
I finally determined that the issue was that the grill had no bottom grate to hold the briquettes and allow oxygen to circulate under them. Charcoal had to be stacked on top of the grill's solid base. Although the grill has four small ventilation holes in the front, this is not enough. With no bottom grate, oxygen could not properly circulate among the briquettes and they died out.
To fix this I had to create my own bottom grate, and the grill worked much better. So basically, this is an alright grill if you're willing to put in some extra time and supplies to make it usable. But I don't think you should have had to do that.
