Bought the OCGF at Academy last weekend. There were some scratches on the back panel and the store clerk gave me $150.00 off the price. Nothing major at all. Did a burn in and loaded up some half chickens two days ago. My viper fan fit perfectly into the intake ball valve so no adaptor needed. Set it at 250 then raised the temp to 300. Had no problems with temps holding and overall it was a success on the first cook. The only drawback was a small leak around the top left side of the cooking chamber door. Not drastic but still some small wisps of smoke would get out from time to time. The real test will be a brisket this week. If I can get the bark and smoke close to my T-Pit smoker I'll be really happy. For now it looks to be a good buy.
