This is a large grill.  I think lifting the lid seems heavy when I'm placing it on the side.  I love the ash remover - easy to take care of.  The split grate is nice. It was easy to build.  Handles are nice, good construction.  You can't go wrong with a weber! It is quite large for cooking for two people but the extra space is there for additional friends.  Overall great value and many years of great meals.
