It is on the patio and I will start on this Performance Test by this weekend!

Packaging.

[Bentley]

It took 30 minutes by myself to get out of carton and get legs and bottom shelf on.  Very simple and straight forward assembly.  If 2 people do it, I bet the entire assembly can be done in under 30 minutes.

[Bentley]

20 more minutes to finish.  I very solid feeling unit.

Thick cut Bacon.  SG set at 250°, will look at it in 1 hour and see how even has cooked.

[Bentley]

Pretty even cooking of bacon at 250°.  I have turned to 300° and will give another 20 minutes.  I am more of a 350° bacon cooking temperature guy, but I figured this might show hot spot at 250° if there were any and I don't see it!  It would also be nice if I had better camera skills and could capture the correct look of all the pieces.

I will try and do a better job on the finished bacon.

[Bentley]

After 20 more minutes at 300°.  It appears the right side is some what hotter then left at 300°.  Will see what the Tappecue says when we get it on there!

[Bentley]

I think you will see a more "classic" grill mark as the unit breaks in, and as I learn how hot it needs to be to achieve good grilling.  I am impressed with the 1st go!

[Bentley]

As good a cheeseburger as I have ever made!

[Bentley]

Sicilian sausage, peppers, onions and garlic Calzone.  375° and will see if 20 minutes is the number.  Had no idea I had not taken shot of filling!

[Bentley]

If I had it to do again, I think I would have set unit at 400° for 20 minutes, that would be the only change I would make.  Maybe more sugar in dough, but that is pilot error, not the pits fault!
