Overall great item.  Darker gray is really charchol color.  The material chips so be gentle with it.  We got one chip when removing the door to insert the propane tank, but colored it in with a black sharpee and I cant even see it anymore.  The starter works but sometimes needs more than one shot.  Nice size, flame sizes, looks great, no 
assembly required.  Update 1 year later the finish is chipping and you can see white... need a sharpie!! Bummer
