    Any idea what is the purpose of the circular hole in the cooking grates?

    They told me that the two small holes are for a warming rack. Apparently, they sell one for their larger grills, but not for the Junior (yet). If you mean the large hole in the middle, it's for adding lump or smoke wood.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    That's where you put an egg, so you can say you cooked that steak on an Egg.

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    I think the ability to add lump or wood midcook through the middle hole is outstanding! I figured the small hole was related to some kind of grate lifter.  I wasn't aware of the warmer.  Thanks for letting me know.
