   @JenkyBoom – There is a thick gauge steel cover that goes over the fire pot, and then an equally thick steel drip tray that goes over that (along the full width of the bbq, under the grill). I’d certainly say that’s indirect. Electricity is used to power the auger, which feeds the wood pellets into the fire pot (speed of which gives you your temp), and to also power the fan, supplying air to facilitate combustion.

   @gasitman – No, the only ash is at the initial start up, and is usually remnants from the previous run. Once it “warms up”, there’s very little to no ash at all. It is very clean burning (except for the fantastic smoke).

   Seems like you get a lot of ash on your food, do you?

   hmmm, is that really indirect? how well does it maintain heat? so when you shut off the toggle switch, how does it continue to smoke?
