Looks interesting. With the lump charcoal, do you leave the unused lumps in like you do in the Kamado grills? Wonder if the porcelain coating keeps the heat in as well as the Kamado grills?

Actually, I use briquettes almost exclusively.  With their uniform size and shape, I can load more into the chute giving me a longer cook time without reloading.  The briquettes that are left will be snuffed out when I close the "shutter" and the fan door.
I'm sure it doesn't retain heat as well as a kamado (I just sold mine to buy this grill)...I just know it works great makes me seem like a better cook.  AND it has the capacity to hold at least 6 racks of ribs on the main grates (probably more if I use the top rack,too).
Here's a video I did this morning:

Looks interesting.  I see that you can use briquettes or lump.  What about wood chunks?
Sometimes you have to go in a circle to reach your destination.

BB, I drop a couple of chunks down the chute as I'm loading the charcoal.  I can also put a chunk or two in the ash catcher, but I have found that I don't get significant smoke action that way.
BTW, this grill has an adjustable vent to allow control of smoke and heat.

Those ribs look good Jack.

Did you get a smoke ring running the pit at 300?

Cause it still looked like you were getting smoke during the video.

Had a thin smoke ring.  What surprised me most is how juicy and tender these ribs turn out in about 3 hours.
As I was lookin' around on the tube, I found several more guys who prefer hot and fast. Here's one.

Hey Jack,

would love a video on how to clean the 980

Looks to me like it is not that hard.
