from my calculations, a 1lb cannister of propane woukd last a little shy of 1.75 hours on medium setting. So i got it and the packaging was beautiful. the normal grill box with brown paper wrapped around it for privacy. In the interior there was Styrofoam everywhere and most importantly, no assembly required because all we are excited for is to grill up some steaks. the grill is easy to use and works very well for all types of food. As for the size it is perfectly deep for a few ears of corn with room to spare for 4 patties. Kuuma has lots of acessories as well, but unfortunately if your railing is more than 1" you will need to make a custom mount which isn't difficult. After a while of use my grill began getting too hot for the setting, 625°F on low. I called kumma (camco) and it was quick and east to talk to someone, it was just regulator setting which took a hex key and a few min to fix. They also told me if I had any more issues to call Mr. Camco himself and gave me his extension. Fantastic product and the best customer support I've ever had.
