I purchased this grill the weekend before Father's day. The first cook, leg quarters, turned out great. The second cook, a whole brisket, again, turned out fantastic. Great bark, good smoke ring, and out of this world good. However, 10 hours into my cook, I noticed the temperature started to rise. Not fast mind you, but it started creeping up and didn't stop. I had a calibrated dial thermometer that I placed in the smoke chamber to see if in fact it was the grill or the internal probe. In my case, it was the internal probe. Char-Griller customer service was more than happy to send me a replacement. I've not received it yet but should soon. In the interim I decided to cook on it again, another brisket. This time the flat cut. It too turned out great but I had to babysit it throughout the entire cook. The reason I bought this smoker/grill was so I could spend less time on fire management and more time visiting with family and friends. Hopefully the new probe will help but I am having my doubts. I have attached a few photos of my results so far. I will come back after I receive the new probe and cook on it a few more times.
Oh, one more comment, as for the flap in the fan box, mine is still intact.
