I entertain a lot so most my grilling is done on my larger charcoal grill with smoker box attachment, but when I'm cooking for less than 4 this is my go to grill. I grill a ton, so I have been through maybe 3 of these in the last 8 years or so, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that I move the grill around all the time and sometimes subject it to inclement weather.
Heat control is as good as you could expect from a kettle grill and smoking in it is a breeze. I've done everything from pork shoulder to NY Strip to stuffed jalepeno poppers on this grill. My only complaint would be the lack of cast iron grating, but I use a couple extras I have from my big grill and just plop them and the grate and it works awesome!
