Great grill, poor design for an outdoor grill unless it is completely under cover from rain. The vent holes in the mounting flange, which run along both sides and across the back, allow rain to enter the cabinet below. When planning to smoke or roast something that takes some time, check the weather carefully.
The Memphis cover doesn’t cover the vent holes either. So rain at any time will flood your cabinet. Memphis answer to this is that the rain won’t hurt the grill. Memphis needs to design a better grill cover to prevent rain from entering the vent holes and extend the front of the cover down past the drawers. They also need to provide a trim kit to cover the space between the grill and cabinet cutout as done by other manufactures.
If Memphis were to redesign their grill cover, I would up my rating to 5 stars even though rain, while cooking, would still enter my cabinet.
As far as actual use of the grill for smoking, roasting and grilling, I couldn't be happier.
