I have one and Love it, the pros plenty of cooking space with plenty of room for heat/warm zones while hot cooking zones fits perfectly on the kettle easy to clean & care for, cons initial cost, kinda heavy (but worth it), if cooking greasy foods you have to watch or the grease may run off the sides and down the kettle I found that out the first time I used while cooking really fatty burgers to season the surface easily overcome by watching and using paper towel or scrape back to center for burn off in fairness I had her loaded with 6 1/2 lbs patties and a 1 of bacon my bad! The added cooking strap w/it's cost I feel is a must, the way it's built performs and ease of cooking well worth the cost my grand kids will be using 20 years from now for sure.
