shipped fast and the delivery service was excellent.  This thing is heavy, which is nice as it's on my back deck.  No worries about it blowing over.  I'm using propane.  Setup was ultra simple as all you have to do is hook up the fuel and dump in the glass.  My only issue would be that there could have been more of the glass beads as it doesn't fill the cavity enough to cover the burner as in the pix.  If you push them more into the middle it works out.  The lid fit perfect as did the weather cover.  Overall I have to give this five stars.  It is very nice and worth every penny!
