Hey Skee,
I have the same grill you're looking at and I have never had a problem with the ash catcher. You can clean out the inside of the grill and all the ashes fall below into the catcher. I usually empty the catcher after about 3 cooks.
My only complaint on the grill is that all three vents on the bottom are controlled by one handle. When you move the handle all the vents move an equal amount, either open or close. No individual control of vents as in the original 22 1/2" kettle. But I think the ash catcher advantage outweighs the vent thing.
Glad to have you on board.

I bought one yesterday too, and fired it up for the first time last night.
Inch and a half thick ribeye and portys. Much better sear/crust than I was getting on the Genesis gasser. Surprised how clean everything looks after grilling. I love the ash catcher.

That's what this board is really for. I know we use it for a social outlet, more due to the fact that it's cold still for a lot of us! Thanks everyone for helping and giving your adivse...this is what makes this board a great info center
Skee, continue to be a part of the board and reap the benefits! Glad to have you here!!
Also, since everyone is buying the same thing... here is another idea!
