This is the highest quality grill I've ever seen! The assembly was very easy as well!

I waited to review until I could spend some time grilling with it. To be honest, it had a few teething issues - the charcoal pan (?) warped a bit and I needed to bend it back it place, the grate rack warped and I needed to bend back into place, one of the side vents seizes when the grill gets hot.

But overall, the thing cooks like a champ. The front door and the pro grate series are just inspired. You can tell they were thought of by someone that has done a lot of cooks.

I needed something that would rust in the rain, this is that. I have used it for burgers, ribs, steaks, lamb, flat bread, fish - it handles it all. Feels solidly built and well thought out. If you're on the fence, just get it. I do recommend the upgraded grates, they're phenominal.

Putting the grill together wasn't as easy as it seemed because a couple of things were defective. One of the tacked on nuts on the leg/wheel attachment came off. I replaced with a non stainless bolt and nut. The alignment on one handle was off so I just used one bolt for the attachment...hope it holds. I must not have been one of the first 50 to get the slide grates, even though that video is still playing on the website. And to my disappointment, A week after I received my grill, I noticed a price drop of $150. I did get the grill together and it cooks amazing! Very pleased with that part of the purchase.

I found the assembly easy (used both the instructions as well as the video). It's very well built. It is much easier to move around than it looks. Once assembled it's very stable. Had an issue with the rack for the grates after initial burn in. That was taken care of by Rachael. Have done several cooks on it already. Love it! You will not need a lot of charcoal. One chimney will get that thing going. It really holds heat very well and is perfect for direct and indirect grilling. The side and top vents are set up really well and you figure out the air flow pretty fast. I am very happy with this grill

From TX to MA the shipping held up perfectly. These boxes are Heavy and so thats not easy! Simple instructions very well written just take your time to read them. All setup the thing is a beast! Super precise control over temperature, easy to clean and built to last a lifetime! Its non magnetic so if you know anything about stainless steel you know that means its true 300 series stainless and not 400 series “stainless” , this will outlast all your other grills!!!
