Kamado Joe rub marks/scratches from metal ring/grate?

[jplee3]

Hey all,



Just got my Classic I delivered and fortunately no cracks/damage... I cringed a few times when they were unloading the thing because they weren't exactly gentle with it and also the pallet was laying on its SIDE in the truck when they were pulling it out :O



Anyway, upon opening the lid, I did notice these scratches/rub marks presumably from the metal ring/grate that was sitting in there.

I'd imagine these likely came from the thing sitting on it's side like that:

Is this anything to be concerned about?

Probably not, as long as there aren't any cracks. The inside will be black in short order.

The interior is going to be jet black after a few cooks so I wouldn't fret over it.

you should be ok with the scratch. Don't forget to register the grill on kamado joe's website. Last thing we tell folks when they leave with their grill is to register it - some still don't. Simple process for a lifetime warranty. Your registration number is on the last page of the book.
