This means that all the trouble of lighting up charcoal to then right point (which takes time) would then allow only one not-so-hungry single person to BBQ one steak. There is most certainly not sufficient space to place the food for 2 people onto the BBQ.

Thus, while I am sure that the principle of this new kind of BBQ is great and would deliver great BBQ results, this specific Kamado Ceramic BBQ for Sale at Aldi on 26-2-2025 does not suit any practical purpose.
