I can't stop using mine . I love it , and the food is fantastic . Have you used it as a grill yet ?
High temp grilling is awesome on this thing . Keep it clean and you won't have any issues with flare ups . I had it at 550 to do steaks . Did a great job .
As a FYI note . When you clean it , make sure you scrape out the grease channel on each side in the bottom . Even if you've used a drip pan , it will fill up with dust that could effect drainage . Grilling without a drip pan , I never had any grease build up . I've gone 2 hoppers before cleaning just so I know what's going on . No problems . Most of the dust / ash is in the clean out tray . It's a great design .
