Kitchen ventillation at our current place sucks badly. I was getting irritated with the house smelling for days after any kind of cooking that involved a frying pan. So I finally set up a little table on the balcony/patio and bought this little guy and hooked it up to one of my 20 lb propane tanks. It works quite well. It's able to generate plenty of heat for some serious frying/cooking, even when it's cold outside.
The only downside is the flame controls are a bit flimsy, not allowing you to set a very small flame. If you're not very careful, you'll end up killing the flame and then have to pull out a match to re-ignite it. I'll have to buy one of those piezo igniters/lighters since this unit doesn't have one built in.
