I bought this at a grocery store while on vacation. I thought it would be better than the other small, cheap grills they had. Wrong...
First off, airflow is everything when you're grilling with charcoal. This grill has inferior airflow, with only one vent on the bottom and one on the lid, with the vent on the lid being the only way to control airflow. It needs at least two vents to get enough air to the fire, but that wouldn't be enough to save this grill.
Second, The metal on this grill is way too thin. I went to latch down the lid. The baked-on porcelain flaked right off and the metal under the latches bent.
And I still don't know where the "vortex" part comes in. I would suggest you spend your money on the Weber Smokey Joe charcoal grill, which is one dollar less at a certain Arkansas-based national retailer, and will last for years (and you'll be supporting Weber, a great American company, in the process.)

I got this at a local market on the clearance rack for $5. Figured can't beat that with the price. Assembly was easy and got it up and running in no time. The other review is absolutely right that it needs another vent. Was very difficult to get the charcoal to cook down from the lack of air. What I did though was slide out the ash catcher to expose the bottom vent holes and then the grill was good. It is not the greatest but for a picnic grill and the price it is fine. I recommend a Weber smoky joe over this though.
