I really wanted the Texas Trio but couldn't get it. I ended up getting the 50 50 and bought the side fire box for it. I cook on it a lot. Every weekend and some during the week. I have cooked breakfast on the gas side a few times. I just put my griddle on it and have cooked eggs, bacon and pancakes. I have really enjoyed it. The only thing that was wrong was that where the coal adjustment handle on one side hooks on to was not welded. I haven't had a chance to fix it yet but it has been hanging on. I read the reviews about the cover and they weren't very good till I read a few that were good. I guess you guys listen to the reviews because I ordered one and it is good. It is made with pretty heavy material and I am so glad I got it. I would buy it all again
