-I never open the sear plate, even when grilling steaks or chicken. For me it isn't worth the trouble and doesn't add anything flavor-wise. The grill will get plenty hot enough with the sear plate closed.
-When smoking, the temps are very uneven throughout the grill. Mine also consistently cooks about 15-20 degrees hotter than the target temp. I usually have to push whatever I'm smoking to the far left as it is the coolest part of the grill and also the location of the ambient temp probe. It gets HOT above the sear plate. The lack of a diffuser like with a traditional pellet grill becomes very evident when smoking.
-Never any issues with the feeder or fire pot. Cleanup is fairly easy. I just put on gloves and clean the ash out of the fire pot by hand because I don't have a vacuum with a small enough nozzle.
All things considered, I don't regret buying the Austin XL, but it has definitely left me wanting more. $397 is a good deal especially for your first pellet grill. It gets the job done, you just have to learn to work with it.

In store may be cheaper. YMMV Brickseek shows some as low as $200 Oos and $250 in stock near me.
