Like the lower heat deflector shields, really helps with no flame ups. We have a Spirit model & it is/was horrible. Swore I would never buy another Weber, but this S-335 was given to us as a gift & I must say it is an outstanding unit, only negative I could give it is the price.
We have used it for a rotissoire chicken an worked great, no flare ups, even heat.
Also like the fact that the LP tank has been mover to the outside, not in cabinet which is very convenient for changing tanks.
