Great clean up! It looks so much better now.
I have two of these and really enjoy them for camp and beach cooking. Whoever mentioned the internal pan before is correct, it isn't part of that grill.
The airflow through the side vents can get a bit tricky, but I've learned a few tricks that seem to work well:
- If cooking direct with the lid off (burgers, etc) then go ahead and open either or both vents. It doesn't really matter so much.
- If cooking indirect then prepare coals on half of the grill against one vent. Completely close the opposite vent and do all intake adjustments with the vent next to the coals. I'll also position the lid vent over the indirect portion so the airflow comes through the bottom vent, across the coals, across the food, and out the top.
