I bought this grill a month ago.  Unfortunately it came damaged.   I have not yet sent pictures to the company,  but I will.  See if there could be any compensation.   I repaired the front of the grill best i could.  Now let's get to how it operates.   It work awesome.   I have smoked something every weekend this month.  Still figuring out how much wood to pit in hopper. Also have grilled on it works great as a grill.  With the electric temp setting and charcoal for that great flavor.   Only reason for not 5 stars is it came damaged.
