The was fortunately not the case.
Came the almost 30kg package in "work box". The is not upholstered and has only 3-4 Pappeinleger and a little bubble wrap between the content. All items are packed in plastic bags separately. For the rough handling of a supplier with heavy packages, this package is not suitable.
Transport damage:
The "chimney" had suffered and the back wall was a bit warped.
The "repair" the damage in transit, I could make her fingers through bend it.
Assembly
I was pleasantly surprised by the assembly instructions. Well illustrated and structured I managed assembly in just under 2 hours (with much rumtrödellei). But I was a bit fussy and have many of the original black anodized Phillips screws through V2A stainless steel screws replaced with 6-point head (I had made me so before you buy).
In some places succeeded not because the 6Kantköpfe protrude too far, or the screws are very special. I had to use a lot of the self-locking nuts, because I do not get in V2A.
In 2 of 12 pictures I had to try my imagination, because the description was inaccurate / incomplete.
As a tool I have a 17mm spanners - only for the wheel nuts - and a Ixo with Phillips and 10er nut used.
Overall, it was only good vorran and without problems. The holes fit well and the thread could be found well even with long passages (80mm screws). Most screws I've screwed with your fingers until the end and then tightened with the Ixo.
Pavers Grill
Overall, the grill makes a solid impression. It can be good on the handle to maneuver the wheels and you just have to lift it lightly.
On beer opener you have to watch something, though he is not sharp, but not versönlich when you nudge him.
The handle baskets at the height adjustment and the Kohenklappe are oddly touching and I think you will still go to the heart. I am curious to see how hot the will.
The brazier has determined 15cm distance to rust even in the highest position. This will need a lot of coal in pan-fried to get to the high temperature preferred by me. I'm going to make an extra carbon cage me here, standing in the coal bucket and 5-10cm higher so the coals about 3cm under the grate are.
Conclusion:
I am happy about the grill and it makes a better impression than I expected. With a hood, he will give me many years remain a loyal friend.
Neg:
A lot of work in the assembly
No steel screws (which is probably true for every barbecue can be purchased)
Pitiful transport packaging (half star deduction)
Height adjustment of the coal basin can not provide high enough.
Pos:
Good settings for the air flow, thus optimal for indirect grilling and even smocking.
Enamelled cooking grates that fit easily into the dishwasher.
Beer opener at the BBQ - How could I previously only live without something! ;)
Simpel coal reloading.
Improvements and "must haves"
Edge protection plates for Coal Chamber (Intricately but certainly cool)
Silicone Cover for the crank and handle carbon flaps (If does not use oven mitt)
Rain Cover (musthave when the grill is to stay out)
Additional coal basket on legs, the one situated in the actual coal tub to reduce the distance to the grill grate.
Stainless steel grates (I do not trust the Emallie)
