Would RecommendIt looks like it would have a lever to release coals feom the bottom but it doesn’t. That is just a second handle for your other hand to hold on. It helps you steady it but you still tip it and pour it out the same as a traditional one

No longer stainless steel!
Would RecommendI had to replace my 10yr old Weber rapid fire, and bought a new one. First thing i noticed out of the box, was that it is galvanized. So tested with a magnet, and it stuck. My last one was nice shiny stainless steel. I guess if the dont last as long, we have to buy more often.
