It is now May 28, 2010. I Purchased this grill (2) years ago.... I figure it only gets about (3) months or so a year of use before being packed away for the season, so the grill has seen approx 6 months of use over my 2 years of ownership. When I went to use it for my 3rd season the unit was totally unusable. RUSTED TOTALLY THROUGH!!!.
I contacted the manufacturer, LANDMANN USA, sent them photos detailing the damage, advising them the unit was always kept covered as well including pictures of the cover on the unit showing how it actually molded itself to the unit from being covered so much. Rather than trying to resolve this situation,they put me through numerous voice mails, promised to return calls and never did and finally accused me of keeping the unit exposed to the elements, not maintaining the grill and it rusting away was all my fault. They actually accused me and are trying to pass off their choice to use poor quality materials in making this grill as if it were my fault the unit rusted away.
Contact Me, I will be happy to provide you copies of our back & forth correspondence if there's any doubt.
The grill is a piece of _______! They claim to use "Heavy Duty Steel", at who's standards?... yea if you compare the wall thickness to aluminum foil. My unit actually has rust holes in the Ash Tray & Side Walls.
I feel I'm fair, I give honest reviews. I've given this manufacturer every opportunity to resolve this issue and restore my confidence in their company and they flat out would rather accuse me of not caring for my belongings while I can prove otherwise.
At this point I have contacted the Georgia State Department Of Consumer Affairs and have registered a complaint against Landmann USA.
Unless they make a better effort to show how good of a company they are and stand behind their products, I would not recommend this grill.
It's up to them.

We absolutely love this grill. We bought it from a different website because it was almost $200 cheaper. We bought it for $228.Pros:
-The grill is well made and very solid.
-The cooking surface is large and works well for parties. You can put 2 or 3 legs of lamb on it or more than sixteen 12 oz steaks.
The charcoal grate lowers quite a distance down and provides great indirect heat even though is still directly below the food.
The charcoal grate holds from as little an amount of charcoal as you want to use to more than 15 lbs, and you can still control the heat fairly well for slow cooking.
The bottom drawers open up the entire lower charcoal area, which really makes adding charcoal and wood chips. Plus it makes cleaning very easy. Some grills put shelves in this area or just a small charcoal access door, which makes it more difficult. This grill uses the entire lower area for the charcoal grate and access to it. Fantastic.
easy to control the temp with four air vents.
Cons:
-The charcoal pan itself is very shallow and would be better if it was at least 4 inches deep.
-It's not fitted for a rotisserie
a second shelf on the left side could be added above the charcoal grate crank handle.
When you want to shutdown the grill, air still creeps in, which means the charcoal doesn't get smothered quick;y. This means that the rest of the charcoal will continue to burn up for some time and you end up wasting some charcoal. However, once you get used to the grill, you get pretty good at adding just the right amount of charcoal, so that it is finished when you are done cooking the food.
