After only a few cooks I must say that the decision to purchase this grill appears to be spot on.  Great features and this thing gets "hot" in a hurry.  My purchase was in the box and so assembly was required.  If you really want to understand the quality of the product, just put it together.  No cheap stuff here.  Worth to money.  Assembly takes some time, but go slow, pay attention and follow the directions, including those related to seasoning the grates.
