Sure did!!As much as I liked it, your review earlier hit the nails on the head perfectly with its faults.
Just to much of a risk me thinks!.
As @Geoffo has pointed out it's a pretty simple fix. Won't cost much to do, if you like it, it can be purchased and fixed for significantly less than any of the other pellet cookers. Just depends if you want to go down that path.

No problems UG.
Some one needs to act.
I am flabbergasted that Fornetto are ignoring the situation like this!
Was part of the reason I decided it was going back at 2.ooish.
As @Geoffo has pointed out it's a pretty simple fix.
Also would need a better oil tray Wazza.
Looking at the chamber this morn you can see how the fat has gone past/over the tray. possibly the main fault!
The drain is probably easy I agree.
Just depends if you want to go down that path.
And that is the $64 question.
Based on initial response I am hinting not.
As someone who has lit a pellet cue up in a big way, I have no intention of going through it again!
Not everyone is going to do large greasy cooks like that but hot oil will find its way through closed cracks let alone gaping holes. It theres something to soak into (like ash) it will wick up, out and keep growing.
Just a perfect mess up, the leak is aimed straight at the fire

go for it.
And I shared on fb as well Chris
I think it's important to get this out, a small seemingly insignificant design flaw, but the result could be catastrophic for someone! Shouldn't be too hard for Fornetto to fix, but they need to get onto it!
As a non engineer, I have to ask myself, is it really going to add so much cost to the production to just add 2 more inches to the square tube and put a small hook on it for the grease bucket? Whether it is under the unit, or out the back.
What pit is that Bentley?
I like the fact that the drain is to one side and obviously have a lean to that side.
Also what is the adjustable slide....looks like it goes into the fire pot? Is that right?
Camp Chef Woodwind with Sear Box.
The slide is a quick drop of ash into container below the unit. When I got my 1st Traeger in 2002, I always wondered why someone did not employ this feature, Champ Chef finally did.

Bloody brilliant idea.
Gets my 10 thumbs up vote
I like the look of that pit.
You guys get all the good stuff over there.

Nice piece of rig there!

Nope, cost would be negligable if you caught it from the start, re-calling thousands that are already delivered is the killer. That piece has been seal welded to the drip rail but no one looked close at the bottom.
So simple to catch in the prototype stage

Exactly!
re-calling thousands
Only 750 in initial order.

So right there. I mean do they test drive these things first! Obviously not.
