Recently purchased this grill & was immediately disappointed when after assembling it half way, I noticed that BOTH hoods were dented & scratched. Also, a couple of the bolts were unable to be threaded so I had to replace them. Too much effort to pack it all back up and return it so I will just chalk it up to a lesson learned....you get what you pay for. As for the cooking, it works just fine. P.S. this thing is super heavy and will require 2 people to move & assemble.
