Bought this smaller unit because in the past we had ones too big and they just wasted heat (gas). So far, this one heats fast, is fairly uniform across the grills, and gets the job done.
Excellent little grill, charcoal/wood takes a bit to get going so I wanted something for quick weeknight dinners. Perfect option. Keeps temp well, flare ups are minimal with tube covers, new cleaning system makes it super easy to clean. Assembly was a breeze, my 13 year old son and I had it put together and burning off in less than an hour.
