If you're into playing with fire and coals, let me tell you, this grill is an absolute blast. It has helped me cook some of the most mouthwatering prime ribs I've ever made. Controlling the fire's heat is a breeze with the charcoal rake. The first time I used it, I realized it's not as labor-intensive as I initially thought. Once I had a nice bed of hot coals going, it practically ran itself. I placed the meat on one side while using the other side to ignite fresh coals, just like an Argentinian-style grill. The build quality of this grill is exceptional. It arrived in great condition without any dings, thanks to being shipped via freight. Shortly after I bought this model, they released the newer version with automatic height adjustment, the Hub II. I'm not entirely convinced if it's worth the extra money, though, since I rarely adjust the height. The manual model works perfectly fine and has fewer things that could go wrong. I would definitely recommend this grill to a friend.
