Rear oil catch doesn't stay in place. Have to check it's in the right spot every time.
Fire is uneven, I have 30-80 degree differences in heat within a 3 inch area.
The lid can't hang in the rear without hitting the oil catch.
The cloth cover is NOT water proof and without the metal lid will hold water on your grill as it sinks down to the flat top.
Pro: if I can find an even heat spot cooking on this is great. Can do large amounts of food, making meal prep easier and more efficient.
Cons: Blackstone support has left me without help. Uneven grill top (all four corner bow out), gas won't burn evenly so I get hot spots and cold spots. I smell gas and Blackstone won't identify the part needed.

Overall I wouldn't recommend someone a Blackstone product without first finding someone who has one and trying it out.
