Does this unit have a plastic or metal grill? Does it smell when turned on for the first time? If so, how long must it be run before the smell stops?

metal grill, I don't think it smelled but really don't remember.Other than that its a excellent heater . I bought another one and gave my old one to my aunt.

No smell but the elongated heating element is the sham. I've own little heaters that put out the same of heat for less than what I paid for this one.

The grill is sturdy plastic. There is never any odor when it is turned on . . . first time or any time.

Mine had a plastic grill but it never smelled.. I would check the elements and make sure nothing is setting on them and that is why you get a smell.

None at all I'm very pleased with this grill. I don't keep it outside, after I grill I always wheel it back into the garage. It's very sturdy and love the option of propane and coal. Hope this helps.

I just received mine and I also have this burning plastic smell. I thought it might be because it is new. Has it gone away for anyone who has this odor coming from their Bunn as well?

The fan is at our cabin, so I do not have it in front of me to answer your question. However, I believe the front grill is metal and the back grill is plastic.

I would not use any appliance if it smells like something is burning. I would contact the mfr. immediately. We have one, it works fine and there is no odor.

Not at all. It smells like plastic when you first open it but no smell. I keep mine outside on the porch patio

Plastic smell goes away after a few uses. The temp dropping I don't think is normal. You might want to check if it's still under warranty. Hope this helps!

When we originally plumbed in our unit we had a plastic smell as well. It took us about a week to get the plastic taste/smell out of it by simply running the unit many times within a day. I don't know the exact amount, but I would say that we ran it about 12 times a day for a little longer then a week. We didn't use any k-cups when we ran it, just had hot water going through the system. After we did that we no longer could smell or taste plastic.

I never use any chemicals on mine. Very warm water and a "Forman" grill sponge only. Had mine for quite a few years now and never a smell, and still can pass for brand new!

On the Target website it states plastic and aluminum. I love mine.It heats up high enough to really grill things.I have owned a number of grills ,but to me ,this is the best one.Super easy to clean.Great investment.

I found that after a year of use there is a metallic smell after I turn the unit off. Is that braining my harm?

I just got mine and last night my kitchen had a faint burning plastic odor. I turned the thing off. If the smell dose not go away in a few weeks I'll return the unit. I expect more from an $100 coffee pot. Its possible that other people haven't smelled it because they're in a building with air conditioning where the air is always being moved around.

It is a plastic grill if you don't want to spend the money on a real speed grill this will do the trick . It is a nice looking grill
