Bring back eye level grilling

I wanted to provide a forum for those people who have forgotten, or never even experienced,  the joys of eye level grilling.  What are your memories of this much loved but now largely forgotten appliance?  What were your favourite dishes?  Why do you think eye level grilling has fallen in popularity over the past 30 years?  What benefits do eye level grills offer?  Are you still using an eye level grill?  What eye level grill products are available?  So tell us your experiences or thoughts on this important matter and together we can bring back eye level grilling.
