Bought this thing brand new from lowes last year there is a drop down panel for below the grill at the legs. Its laying there. I was not provided screws for it. Contacted pit boss about it. They were gonna mail screws for it but never heard anything. I've used it twice for ribs. Just not what I was looking for yet. Comes with a half a bag of apple pellets, and the pellet cartridge full of apple as well.
