You can't go wrong here, took just 20 minutes and I have 10 thumbs, all you need is a hammer and look at the pictures that come in the book.  For taste, you can't tell that even I, who can and does burn water, can cook mouth watering burgers and steaks that my family duplicates in their high priced, propane lugging grills. Same recipe-charcoal and light it without the propane burn.  One just need to be very generous with the non-stick spray or else your food sticks and breaks up on the grill.  Also the Kingford fast start charcoal is a marvel, if you cook just several burgers and a steak, because after about 20 minutes the charcoal burns out. Lastly, the bottom vent is quite cheesy, so for the grilling I did not open it and grilled with the top off, with no fear of hot ashes whipping around the yard.
