LodgeL12RG Cast Iron Round Kickoff Grill, 12 inch, Black

I purchase a Lodge Kick-off grill but was disappointed to find that it arrived without it's steel lift handles.When I tried to contact Lodge to inform them of this problem, I was faced with a message saying that "this is their busy season" so it might be a while before they get to your letter....(okay?)Then after writing a very nice letter to them explaining the problem, I hit send... But instead of sending... you now have to prove that you are not a robot. (okay.... I get it.... you can't have your business being swamped with junk e-mails.) Now I have to check off pictures with palm trees.... okay..... these images are small and blurry, so I check off 3 of the 6 images that I think to see palm trees . Hit confirm.... images disappear .... Did the letter send?, Did I pass the palm tree test? ....no clue.... page remains the same. Press letter send again...no pop up robot test, but absolutely no change with the page either.... redo the entire letter process again. Same end result.... SO DAMN FRUSTRATING !!!!Like I already said, I get it.... but forcing your customers to play annoying hidden object games that don't clearly show your customers if their letter will get to you.... well... that is plain STUPID!So now to get back to my real complaint... It has been two weeks since I tried to get this issue resolved. And I have yet been contacted by them... The Kick-Off grill is a really cool looking little grill... But it is totally useless and unsafe to even try to use, without it's steel lift handles.

Suggest is to get aluminum foil and then run your finger along the ridges on the bottom so they takes the shape of that and clean up his easy you just dump out the ashes and then you lift the aluminum foil and it most you only have to clean up the edges unless you're really particular on how you lay the foil

I've cooked and smoked on everything from tire rims to expensive pits and this new grill is the simplest design, highest quality, portable grill I've had the pleasure of feeding from. I easily prepared eight filets the other nite and it was a dream. Heat retention,(cast iron), was absolutely over the top, definitely something to take into account your first time or two cooking on it.The little pint size marvel is guilt to start and your heat will last way longer than you'll be cooking on it. Easy to keep clean, just make sure it's dry and stored away from moisture sources when not in use and always cook on NON-FLAMMABLE SURFACES.You also won't beat the price as far as I can tell, Christmas is gonna be easy this year.

Just right for 1-2 people. I sometimes want the taste of something cooked over charcoal and this fits the need. Got great customer service when the grill came without the handles. Lodge is a dependable brand as always. Holds it's heat.

I set this up with the chimney charcoal lighter before I leave for work then, when I get home, I light it on my way into the house. By the time I get my things put down and the food ready to take outside, it's hot and ready to cook. It's not big enough for a large meal, 3 burgers is about it, but I can do a salmon fillet and some veggies easily enough. I'm only cooking for me, so the size is fine. I plan to do appetizers at Christmas, shrimp on skewers, that sort of thing, that everyone can cook their own, should work great for that.
