First use and could not get above 450 with plenty of coals came with the grill. I guess the temp closer to the fire is obviously hotter than the temp gauge wayyyy up at the top of the dome(obviously). So my steaks did not sear so I need to remove pizza stone and get the steak closer to the fire. I will be trying different coals. Don't let anyone e full you on the start time and the "get up to temp time" - they are all full of S T! Took 1 hour in 60 degree weather just to reach 400 with plenty of coals and the vents wide open at top and bottom. That's not fun at all. Who has that kind of time? And I used a torch to light it. LOL At least I only paid 500.00 for the white cottage deluxe RX402 model but still...
Good grills until you need a part for it. Before buying a grill look at parts local parts supply. It’s been a month since I had to order a simple felt and still have not received it. I guess I’ll be deep frying out turkey since my $1100 grill is out of commission. Shit service
I inherited one of these grills. I'd rather have a $20 grill from Walmart. Doesn't matter what I do it never gets over 200*. In my opinion this is a POS that no one should waste their money on.
Hey Ted, I had the same problem and noticed I was missing a small grate that goes down in the lower bowl to allow optimal airflow. I ordered the part from Vision’s store and since replacing it, it’s amazing. Very easy to control and get over 550 pretty easily
