    i'll throw something in the slow cooker a couple times during the week, it's usually a roast or the sort that way i can have leftovers the next day. its a great way to save money.

    i let it sit to burn out them dump them in trash (usuallyu the next AM)
    it is very efficient so i only use about 10-15 briquettes to cook a steak. burns out in an hour or 2

    I saw a guy using one of those at a truck stop in Wilson, WI. He cooked his food, let it cool. Cleaned it up and put it away.

    the propane version of the same grill is only 2-3 $$ more.
