In the photo below, the screws I am leaving in place are in the general area of the red arrows. The screws I am leaving out are along the same line but against the back wall of the smoker.

I see they mentioned this can grill also? Has anyone ever grilled anything with the Brunswick? Has it turned out?

It really doesn't get hot enough, definitely not going to sear anything. The biggest point to share here is that you better have it incredibly clean if you are going to push it to 300+. If there is any grease on your drip guard or water pan it will catch fire much easier and more quickly that a normal grill due to the airflow. Next thing you know the build up on the walls will catch and your pooping your pants. Fires in these units are terrifying given how big the cabinet is and how easy they are to backflow to that massive pellet hopper.

Well reading this is making me regret my purchase not because of the grilling, I understand it's a vertical smoker, I'm just wondering about the fire back drafting into the pellet box

Funny you talk about your ignitor going out, just having family over to Bragg about my new pitboss smoker, and 2 hours into my smoke I get ERR. WTF. Ribs are ruined, and we are all eating McDonald's now FFS. This is only my 5 smoke on this unit. It not even a month old
