I purchased one of these for a camping trip in August.  I tested it before I left and noticed that even on low the flames looked really fierce and hot(and loud), like a jet torch instead of the nice mellow low-setting flame on a kitchen stove top.  I figured I was being a bit picky and it would probably be fine.  Well it wasn't.  I was constantly burning the outside of all my food(and I do know how to cook well enough to not burn everything) on the lowest possible setting.  And the lowest possible setting is very tough to get on this grill.  The flame would go out almost every time I tried to adjust to flame that low, and that caused another problem.  The only "pan" I brought was a cast iron griddle. Now I have a burning hot cast iron griddle with food on it that I have to pick up in order to relight the flames that just went out.  I have heat proof gloves for this, but the grill got the cast iron so hot that the gloves that are rated to 480 F started to melt.  Needless to say cooking was the worst part of that trip, and it took a week to get the taste of burnt cooking oil out of my mouth.  I returned the product to Amazon as defective very soon after the camping trip.
