As others have said about Broil King it came like it had sand under the nonstick coating. The temp is so uneven that I would never try and cook with it. When it said it was at 350F my infrared temp read 468F on the hot side and 279F on the other. I can't believe all the positive reviews I found by so called testing groups . I'm glad I ordered it from Amazon, They take great care of there customers.
