When this product first came out I immediately wanted one. But for $90 I figured I'd keep using my charcoal baskets for a while and let the fine folks of the WKC be my guinea pigs. Every post I've read on here has been extremely positive.
@Troy 's write up put me over the top and I decided to order one. I finally got around to it last weekend and it arrived on Tuesday. Today was the day to do a dry run and see what I could get it to do temp wise.
Filled it with unlit charcoal, topped the water reservoir off and set it over the jet in my performer to get it started. Shut the jet off after 10 mins and let it do its thing. After about an hour all the coals were screaming hot. I put the lid on just to let it burn off an oils, ect. Just pulled the lid off and all the water had evaporated which was expected at the higher temps I was running. Then something troubling caught my eye.
It had warped in the middle! Anyone else have this happen? Is this normal? Didn't think it would ever do anything like this. That's why I plunked down the cash.
Did I do something wrong??? I'm a little P.O.'d right now!
