As the others have said they are like what you see at most parks. A 3 sided steel box on a pole for the fire and a heavy-duty grill that you can adjust the distance from the fire. Most are in great shape and I do use them for grilling burgers and dogs. They are on the small side if you need to cook for more than 4. However, if you want to Bar-B-Q or slow cook chicken or pork loin I would bring one from home that has a top where you have better control over the heat.
