Using this grill is super easy. First, take it out of the canvas storage bag. Unfold it in just 30 seconds and place the grates on top. You're all set to start grilling for 2 - 3 people! Whether you're at the beach, campsite, or having a barbecue, it's ready to go. Remember, it has a stable base, so make sure it's on a flat surface for safe grilling. The sides of the grill work as a windbreak, so if it's windy, you can still cook your food without any issues. After grilling, you can use it as a firepit, but always make sure to put out the fire completely and follow the 'leave no trace' rules. When it comes to maintenance, since it's made of stainless steel, it's easy to clean. You can even put it in the dishwasher. Just store it back in the canvas storage bag when you're done.
