All other "reciprocating" (fence) grills are the same. The Grilla gives you what others don't: -Actual "grill" marks on every hot dog-just like you get on your backyard barbecue. People love them! -"Non stick easy clean cook surface. -"Juice" separation. Juices come down vertically to the juice tray. -Wider spacings to allow for today's Jumbo 1/4 lb. hot dogs! It will take any hot dog. -Prevents burning. All hot dogs roll at least 1 1/4 turns with each "recip". Even if they come out of the freezer square, they will eventually roll and take on the grill marks. -Dual heat controls.
