I ordered the NG version specifically as the local supplier did not stock them.  I was so happy once it arrived as I had done my research and picked this as the best option for my price range.  After opening the box and beginning to follow the instructions it appeared as though there was significant shipping damage to the bottom railing of the bbq.  It turns out that it was a manufacturer defect.  The railing on the bottom of the bbq to which the base/stand was to be attached was installed about one inch off center and prevented the base/stand from being installed.  This could not be fixed by bending anything back into shape as it was installed with heavy rivets at the factory.  I had to go through the misery of taking apart what I had already completed and re-packaging and returning it to the local supplier.  TERRIBLE QA on the part of broil king!!!  I have read many reviews about this bbq and the bad ones seem to mention problems with parts missing/broken.  Time to try a Weber.
