Really dissatisfied to say the least. For one the way it sits in its resting spot. Why isn’t it made to fit tightly against the fire or that part of the stove built out to meet the pot? This is my second year and my wall is ate out bad! From the pounding that area takes from the heat and the pellets! If the pot extends up to the slide where the pellets come out it covers that whole area! Or like i said a piece of steel under the pellet chute as wide as the pot? Then instead of making it squared off ? Have the bottom shaped like a bowl ! To eliminate all of the seams and 90s where all the excess builds up? Hope this helps out ? I pull my burn pot every cleaning and wash it in soap and water to keep it clean .
