Title: Poor quality at any price is Still a rip-off.
Product review: Out of the box the grill is missing parts; several screws, nuts, one lower support bracket, the wooden handles have some chips and splinters and a couple of the holes were not drilled completely through. The exterior of the smoke chamber is marred in several places; so I will have to buy some high temp paint to touch up the surface of a brand new grill. I am shocked that the surface isn't pre-cured (maybe the exterior wouldn't be damaged if properly treated before packing and shipping), so know that if you purchase this smoker you have to protect the surface until you've burned charcoal for 2hrs (sufficient to keep the temp in the ideal range which will require adding some dry hardwood chuncks)and then protected the surface until cooled. And like another review the lid doesn't fit, neither the lid nor smoke chamber are round, sort of irregular unmatched ovals. There is just no quality control in the manufacturing nor packing of this grill.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
