Thanks for all of the kind words. As requested I will post a few more pictures of the features. First of all on the outside. The grill comes with a digital controller and pellet dump.
Secondly, it has an ash drawer and a warming drawer.
It also includes a shelf with a tool holder.
Lastly it has a door for temp probes.
Internally it has a chute for the fire pot instead of a horizontal auger tube.
The firepot is only covered by a flame tamer.
The grill has 4 (5 including the warming drawer) temp zones for cooking.
The grill has an open flame in zone 1 and cast iron grates that can be used to sear a steak or other items.
And lastly, here is a pic of it coming up to temp with it smoking.
Just a quick note on the digital controller...it has adjustments that will allow one to either stay close to a set temp or allow for a wider gap between over/undershoots which will produce more smoke.
I have only cooked/burned burgers so far (dang learning curve but hey the dogs and Papa Johns are happy)
