Tryazon Hero Grill

We had some friends over to try out this new characoal grill system from Hero. When they arrived, we all went outside to watch Charlie light the grill, and I explained the features. Then the ladies went back in while the guys grilled, and we all enjoyed burgers and an "indoor cookout" (It was cold and dark- November in Wisconsin!)

Here is our review of the grill:

Pros: I love its compact size and how everything can fit into a carrying case. The grill itself is very nonstick and just the right size for four, not six burgers. Maybe our burgers are "too big." It was easy to light and there was very little smoke when lit. There was no weird taste to the burgers. It cleaned up nicely in the dishwasher. I like that it is eco-friendly, though that raises the price considerably compared to other charcoal grills.

Cons: It did not get very hot. It also burned through the bottom of the cardboard.... the lava rock tray did not burn, just got hot enough in a couple places to scorch the cardboard. But it took forever to heat up and didn’t sear the meat very well at all. Will continue to use from time to time but the price point of the charcoal pods is way too high for our use (when we go camping we take a big bag of charcoal and cook for at least 2 meals a day- we can't afford $10 a meal just for the charcoal.)
