If these go on sale at 50% off like much of their other stuff, might be a nice score.

Looks decent at full price but it's no 'similarly equipped Primo' as the one review says :lol: be nice to know what diameter it is to figure what the real cooking space is, it's no where close to the 600 sq/in they quote. A large BGE is 262 sq in with an 18 1/4" grate, it looks to be around the same size.

They are quoting the two racks for total cooking space I think.

Yeah I figured that's why I'd like to know what the real cooking space is, it's gotta be a 21" diameter if it's 300 or so sq/in I think :cheers2:

I saw this yesterday over in darkside, it looked nice but feels lightweight compared to the BGE also I think the top vent is plastic and not removeable.

Plastic and not removable...o_0. I guess I'd just have to melt it off.:)

Was looking at one today. Not a bad design. Grates are properly thought out with hinged sections. The top is metal, but its cheap. I'd seriously consider one if I was still in the market - if they went on sale, which they should.

Good to know, cuz if they do go on sale, I may be able to justify the expense.
