I bought this kit because of the carrying case. I actually bought 3 of them because I was going to use them for Christmas gifts. Two out of the three arrrived with broken cases. The latches used to keep the cases closed are made of cheap plastic. I had to improvise...drill a hold through the case and use wing nuts to keep the case closed. I even did this with the non-broken case because the latches are so cheap, it is just a matter of time.The BBQ set is awesome. More than you need and very heavy duty. It is a shame that such a great set comes in such a cheap case. If you want a great set and are not afraid to conduct a little work on the case; this product is for you. I will say that the wing nuts make the appearance of the case look real cheesy and I hate having to unscrew and keep track of two wing nuts everytime I BBQ. Thumbs down because of the case.
