I originally thought I wanted it for grilling, but I thought about maybe using it in competitions for chicken and maybe for ribsdepending on the size of the off heat area. You have answered some of the concerns I had. I seem to burn up the $400.00 grills about every 1-2 years, They just don't last. You said you where getting some rust on some of the fastners I wonder why they did not use stainless fastners? Anyway thanks for taking time to answer some questions.
