The most important thing you can do is think about what you want to cook and how you want to cook it. If all you want to do is grill a few hot dogs and hamburgers at the campsite, there’s no sense in getting carried away. Buy an inexpensive cuisinart pots and pans set grill and use some common sense in preparing that food.

Due to the vertical hopper, the charcoal flows down as it burns, with the ash simply falling into a bucket at the bottom. Just open a door and empty the bucket—it’s that easy. It is often easiest to clean the inside of your grill at the same time as the outside because you have already unplugged your grill and it will be cold and emptied of wood pellets.
Seems like the only good reviewers / YouTube reviews were promotional. Many complaints about quality, parts breaking almost instantly, customer service issues, etc. I do like the size and the price point, but I think this one is going to be a hard pass.
