Not a single complaint about this grill. Has an exemplary fat drainage design and produces food so beautifully grilled it could be used for a photo shoot. Front-to-back burner configuration made it easy to accommodate the whole side of salmon. Grillers on a budget should look no further.

This highly recommended model has a lightweight polypropylene grip, and a single large, tough pad (with a spare included) that did an excellent job cleaning off a baked-on mixture of honey, molasses, barbecue sauce, and mustard. Testers with smaller hands felt it provided a more comfortable grip than its wooden-handled competitor.

This mitt kept our hands as cool as any other and performed well in dexterity testing. Flare-ups caused a scorch mark, but the mitt did not burn. As with all cotton models, once wet, this mitt stayed wet. Some testers felt the thumb section was a bit short.
