Thumb Score: +1

With over 580 sq. in. of cooking space, the Oakford 580 Pellet Grill packs usability, ruggedness and flavor into a 20 in. W cooking area. When compared to the two larger (790 & 1000) versions, this has Porcelain Coated Steel grates (not Porcelain Coated Cast Iron) and no front shelf. The creative location of the "smoke" stack at the back of the unit leaves an actual usable right side shelf. And HD is running a Special Buy discount of $ 100 for the 580 sq inch making the already attractive pricing on the Oakford Pellet grills (MSRP $ 449, $ 549, $ 649) an even better value.
