Hi all, I thought the grill should be more interesting. I have a charcoal bbq at home as well but there is much difference here. When you light up the coals they produce alot of smoke and it dose not shoot straight up like a locomotive on steroids. The smoke remains present low level, there is a mix of dark and cream smoke which after 5 minutes goes to blue and the a bit of a light cream color before the coals are white. So the idea behind this mod is the following: 1. when pouring coal, show lumps of coal and sound 2. make the smoke behave more-like in reality 3. show coals hot/amber-like when ready.
