    That's downright purty! Love the shelves and stand, too. 

    Can you show the inside? Is it similar to the BGE grate + firebox + fire ring? 
    Inside, it has 1 large cast iron bowl that it tall enough that cooking grate rest on top of it. Normally it’s seldom removed because of the weight. I honestly can’t lift it out myself. More on this later.
    Thank you,

    That is a nice looking grill.
    You may wanna reinforce that deck.

    Gave everything a light sanding and sprayed with cooking oil. Just doing a slow cure and clean burn right now. I really like the grill. So solid. Only drawback is weight of fire bowl if you’re someone that has to do a full clean all the time. Lower vent opening is very large and pretty easy to rake the ash through the vent, like BGE with larger opening.
    The newer version has some changes over this model but nothing major. I dearly wish this had the wheels on the cart. Unfortunately it’s not made in a way to just add them. But one step at a time. Thanks for following.

    Give these folks a call - 
    https://www.castercity.com/

    Almost certain they can fix you up with what you need.

    I recommend calling them vs. ordering online. The last time I spoke with someone there, he was very knowledgeable about their products, steered me to what I needed, without trying to upsell, or any crap like that.

    Looking forward to some pics and some cooks!  Curious how hot the outside gets.
    Fairly hot.
    Grill stabilized at a little over 400 degrees, in the shade, the IR reads 290. The 290 reading was pretty consistent around the dome. The cast iron griddle inside was reading almost 500 degrees. I have not calibrated the thermometer but it seems like it’s close.
