It can also be placed on sensitive surfaces, as it does not get hot on the bottom. The Lotus Grill comes standard with a color-coordinated nylon carrying bag and is easy to transport. The grill grate and the inner bowl, where the fat from the grilled food can collect, are made of solid stainless steel and are dishwasher safe. The built-in fan is powered by four batteries or a USB power source and is controlled continuously by an LED-lit switch. The sealed, perforated stainless steel charcoal container is positioned centrally inside the grill and requires only about 20% of the charcoal compared to a conventional grill. It is ignited with commercially available fire paste. The burning time varies depending on the type of charcoal and fan setting, ranging from approximately 40 to 60 minutes. Includes USB power cable.
