I was wrong.  First cook and the char was there.  600 plus for first burn off.  Avacodo oil for grill prep.  Acropolis olive oil for basting.  This beats any gas grill I have ever had.  Smoke flavour boom.  I am giving chicken thigh pieces to work associates.  If they think it is awesome too I will get them to post as well.  This was done at max temp throughout even with temp drop from lid open lowering temps
