These air dampers are located at the upper and the lower part of the grill. The grill is also designed with large convenient side shelves and lower storage rack to give you more space for your cooking ingredients and materials.

As most people may admit, traditional charcoal grilling brings more enjoyment and satisfaction to our cooking. At times, charcoal heat can conveniently cook food a lot faster than with burners. What’s good in charcoal grilling than with burner equipped grills is that you get to have a much lesser operational cost and only requires low maintenance. At around $110, you get to enjoy a tasteful and well cooked meal from a charcoal grill with just the same cooking convenience and satisfaction as with enjoying the meal.

What you are going to dislike about this model is its flimsy construction. The thing leaks air at every possible place and the front door for fire access doesn’t seal and warps as it gets hot and cold. The wood slats for the side tables are a poor idea as the space between them allows things to tilt and easily fall as compared to a solid piece of wood.
