I bought this BBQ a year ago and have really liked it. It gets up to high heat quickly and while likely not the most powerful in the line, it does the trick for someone like me who's a moderate barbecuer. After the first year there's a hole rusted in the bottom of the cookbox, which is a bit insane and makes me question the quality. It's covered under lifetime warranty but having to pay for the new part to be shipped, disassemble the entire thing, and reassemble it, is a task and cost I shouldn't be responsible for after one year of having it.
