So far so good I left it out in the rain last night cause it started raining on me. It’s definitely not rainproof, but that’s why I bought a cover so today I’m finished putting it together and now I’m heating it up for the first time to break it in. It seems like a sturdy little unit. I hope I can just get 4 years out of it and I will be happy. I’m replacing my old Weber spirit that I paid almost twice as much for 10 years ago. The Weber keeps needing replacement parts and they are pretty expensive and now the bottom of the Weber rusted out and everything‘s caving in so I got my moneys worth out of that but actually I could’ve bought a new one five years ago when the Webber part started to breaking down and I could’ve got a new charbroil for half the price so next time I need Parts I’ll replace the easy ones and then when anything expensive goes out I’ll just throw it away and get a new one . I enclosed the photo of the bottom of my Weber that rusted out.also
