I wanted this one particular model after both a long and exhaustive online search as well as visiting several dealers in my area. Although the newer units (in stock)were in the Matt black I wanted this stainless steel model. Only one seller within a 100 mile radius had it in stock but fortunately for me it was deeply discounted! Unboxing and assembly showed the quality and careful thought that went into the manufacturing of this grill. After ownership of just a couple weeks I would unequivocally recommend this grill. I have since purchased the cover, the rotisserie and the charcoal tray!
