Fits perfectly and even has cut outs to where the wheels are on the stand, which allows you to lock the wheels when the cover is on! The material is high quality and looks fantastic. Shipping was a breeze too.
Love this first torch! We bought 8 of them for our backyard walkway and it gives the lord of the rings vibe I was looking for. Thank you for Derell at Agent BBQ for helping me select the torch that fit my style needs and for the best price.
Beautiful grill from Fire Magic. Due to the size of my family and my cooking abilities, I was looking for a gas and charcoal combo grill. Not many brands make durable built-in like this. I've used it a few times now and I can say it is a good buy.
