Is as advertised and long a fan of Weber products. This is used in a two side fireplace on the outside side of the fireplace on our patio.  It replaces one of the round small Webers that the leg broke on after about 15 years of use. The side air vents work fine and do not get clogged by ash or broken off  or small pieces of charcoal.  Easier to clean whether I use a fire ash  shovel  because it is rectangle or just pick it up and pour it directly into the ash can .  do not usually do the latter because of the ash "smoke " it causes, but still easy way to clean fast. It is great  in the shape because family members eat their beef at different levels from medium well to rare and  the rectangular shape makes it much easier to lay things out to cook on different  temps of charcoal fire or to track and turn etc,  We have a large regular kettle weber and have for used weber kettles for 40 year.  The little one  is convenient for just  three or four people ( holds  about 10 good sized hamburgers at a time or long kabobs or steaks cut for each individuals taste and since it is covered and surrounded by a fireplace with a cover and is on the patio  can used in any kind of weather, even a heavy Florida  storm if  necessary.  Have not tried doing a roast or barbecue or anything that would have to cook for an extended period at a steady heat so cannot address that. That I would probably still do on the bigger kettle weber which is further from the house out beyond the screen door to the pool area
