" ... I might try experimenting grilling without the smoker plate and see if that helps. ... "
" ... Hope it cooks well . ... "
" ... Next looking for a good cast iron griddle to cook pancakes out on the pick nick table. ... "
" ... First off, the grill looks fantastic, but looks don't cook dinner. ... Secondly, the burner is too close to the grill without a decent barrier between the meat, so burgers tasted like propane fumes. ... "
" ... Steaks were delicious! ... "
" ... Better be fast with a spatula 'cause this baby cooks hot even when on low. ... "
" ... Good for burgers and “dogs”. ... "

" ... The top was heavily dented, missing locking latch, The griddle was already cracked, Was missing Screws- ... "
" ... It came with bent, broken and dented parts. ... The grease tray that extends on the left side was bent. ... The bracket that holds the cast iron was bent and the rivet was broken. ... "
" ... Managed to get the cast plate out (had to bend back the tabs that are suppose to hold it in place). ... The two nuts welded in place to hold the special bracket were damaged, look like this happened when they welded in place, both cross threaded immediately and I had to use a Tap to renew the threads, but now the bracket fits well. ... Overall disappointed but considering now impossible to return after bending the tabs to get the cast plate out, retapping the nuts and firing the BBQ up guess I will just stick with it. ... "
" ... We had not used it yet until this week and the first time we use it the zipper breaks. ... "
" ... Not enough to notice until after the grill had been set up, and then when they fell out, the gas valve simply fell onto the ground. ... "
" ... legs are a bit stiff to fold down. ... "
" ... I have to wonder if this product has already caused damage to property or harmed someone. ... "
" ... Top rack: it’s a bit thin and under the temperatures this grill gets, its already sagging a bit, & it’s good for only the width of the rack: 4 cobs of corn in foil didn’t fit well. ... As noted above, the unit doesn’t close square and one if the latches doesn’t latch. ... "
