- Large cooking area of 16 inches for increased dining capacity.
- Gas-powered oven with adjustable temperature control up to 932°F for optimal cooking results.
- 3yr warranty

- The high initial cost of purchase may be prohibitive for some customers.
- Fuel canisters must be purchased separately, increasing overall costs of operation.
