  1. No one hurt

    Made Oct 21, 2014, sent to the company Oct 29, 2014, published by CPSC Nov 14, 2014

    The product, in the report: It is a smoker grill. It is about 4 feet tall, black insulated steel. About 30 inches wide. Guessing it weighs 200 pounds. The lid has a thermometer built in. The lid is very heavy and held on by 2 screws. It has 2 fold down side shelves, a locking rear caster with 3 wheels.

    We were using this heavy steel, triple wall, insulated grill to cook chicken. It was very hot. I picked up the lid and it just flew off the grill sideways unto my wood deck. Had it hit someone it would have seriously injured them, particularly a child. The top was so hot, large and heavy it was dangerous to pick up, but we knew that to leave it, it might have started a fire or done damage to the deck. In looking at the grill, the screws holding the lid on simply had disappeared into the holes on the lid. This expensive grill was only about one year old, not used often, and it was cleaned and covered when not in use.
