This char b q can be used indoors year round. The natural convection air flow keeps the stoneware housing cool enough to handle.

Because of the open area at the base and the position of the reflectors, the outer bowl never gets too hot. The heating element reflector system was designed to heat up quickly and broil or bbq evenly. Fat drippings automatically run off to a shielded tray so it is virtually smokeless. The reflector system, including tray, is easy to take out and wash. This product is brand new, never used in closed box.
