    Alert!! Lowes has these on clearance right now for $260 down from $599. In store only. There was only 2 at my store so you better act fast if you want it. They also have the Pit Boss Pro for $174. Early Christmas present for myself. Wife didn’t flip since the price was too good to pass. 🤙

    Thanks for the video. The 1st time I used the grill I added a few pieces of wood in the ash tray as the directions stated. For the 2nd time, I added a few pieces of wood in the ash tray but this time the silicone cover leading to the fan burned. This caused the digital display to show "Open." By this time, I had a brisket on the grill. Because the grill was malfunctioning, I lost a $57 brisket. I called Char Griller for guidance. After buying the grill at Lowe's and having them assemble it, I'm pissed that Char Griller would NOT reimburse me for the brisket. If I had been using the grill multiple times before this malfunction, I would not think of asking them for a refund. This was the 2nd cook in 2 weeks! Char Griller is going to send me the parts and now I have to make the repair instead of Lowe's which is NOT my thing.
    Nov 21, 2021 Update
    Do NOT buy your grill directly from Char Griller! Buy it from Lowe's or another store that wants to satisfy their customers. If your grill malfunctions, simply return it to the retail outlets within the return policy dates and they will exchange it for a new one. Do NOT follow Char Griller's manual guidance to contact them instead of the store you bought it!!! After researching complaints against Char Griller, it seems everything boils down to "Operator Error." The so called "warranty" is worthless. They make you pay for the parts to repair the grill.

    On the Facebook groups they say not to put wood chunks in the ash pan as it can burn that fan flap and potentially kill the fan. Something to look into bud. Can’t wait till mine comes in

      Yea, I would say the gasket around the door is not as sealed as it should be. A lot of guys put a smoke gasket around it as a mod to keep the smoke from escaping. I may do that as well.

    why is the digital screen going crazy?

    • @BadBeastBarbecue
      @BadBeastBarbecue  2 роки тому

      When ever I record a video, sometimes the digital display look like that. The flicker is caused by a difference in the scanning frequency between the digital display and the video camera. There is nothing wrong with the digital display, it just looks that way depending on the setting on my camera.

    Love this grill/smoker. Got one a month ago and its awesome. One thing learned was to seal it up a bit more. Check out Tom Tom Horsman's video on how he sealed it up. ua-cam.com/video/GwLNu2eUR54/v-deo.html
