Lol, I'm like Sako, I just bought a $59 kettle grill knowing it was going to be a dumpster fire. Typical China made stuff, as long as it's a reasonable facimile of the real thing, sell it, cheap! This thing you wouldn't ever be able to shut it down. All you leftover coals would be gone when you come out the next day. There is a 1/4" gap between the lower vent and the outside holes. You can close it but it still breathes like it's open. Hilarious! I haven't used it as I'm stingy on charcoal. I use it as a wind break to get my chimney going, as it has a hinged lid. This thing is the same type of stuff. Use once, maybe twice, 5 times if you want to risk a fire, then throw away. Maybe if you to a race once a year for tailgating, but the dollar store has stuff for that.
