Who has used it? Do you love it? Is it a "must have"? Well, I know it's not a must have, but is it worth getting I guess is my real question.
 
I wasn't impressed when I used it. I thought it took way to long for the potatoes to cook. Maybe it was just me.
 
I like it ... worth the $10 for me. We don't normally do a lot of baked potatoes, but having the ability to do them on the grill and not heat up the house has made for a nice addition to our meals.
 
it can be used in the oven as well...so I think that's a great selling point
 
I haven't tried mine in the oven. I find myself microwaving the potatoes for a few minutes before putting them on the grill because they take way too long! By the time they are close to being cooked through (starting raw) my coals are near dead for my main course. I was very excited by this tool yet greatly disappointed

But if using sweet potatoes, put a pan under it or you will have a MESS.
