A nice front shelf is a must.
I have one on my Louisiana and I think it is the BOMB

Regarding posting unfavorable reviews, gotta give it to Weber for their webpage feedback/reviews of the Smoke Fire grill. 

Negative reviews seem to out-weigh the positives, but they post them all.  While I like Weber products, I’ve passed on buying their smoker based on the reviews from recent owners who bought the gen 2 model and are still experiencing problems.

Check with glitchy on here.  He loves his according to his posts on here.  He bought one, took it back, bought 2-3 other grills and sold them, and went back the Weber.

I love the front shelf I bought for my MAK many years ago.

The one on my 590 has been great. Not real deep but enough to do the job.
