I've had a CB-500 for about 3 years & since it's only the wife & I I use it a lot!
It's an affordable table top charcoal grill ($90 shipped amazon)
Cooking area is 240 sq in, (about 18 in by 13 in , important later)
It's a table top or car camping or tailgating grill, at 38 lb it's not a portable hand carry cooker.
The design , It's basically a very small barrel grill, with heavy cast iron grates, adjustable charcoal grate & limited ability to adjust airflow.
Has a removable ash pan & door to add fuel.
Is well built , mines 3 y/o & other than cosmetic wear & tear is in very good shape.
