I bought this thinking it was gas, but my bad so no big deal. Ill give it a go cause it looks very well built. However. I have never seen a bbq take so long to warm up. I get its an electric but still. 45 mins laster at its barly at 350. I even times at tries for stick my propane tourch in there to heat up but still doesnt stay hot enough. Well built but waste of my money. Can wait to write vermont castings. They should stop kaming them all together
