Is there a thin resin coating on the inside or outside? Also, is there a hole in the bottom that's been filled with lead, as indicated in a review?

Mine doesn't have a resin coating. No lead in mine either. The cup is good the lid is less than desirable. Cheap and flimsy.

The external bottom of the pot is plastic but no plastic inside. There is a rubber ring seal inside around the metal heating part. I will upload some photos later.

It appears to be a plastic coated metal. The inside does not stain quickly.

The bottom--the pot portion--has some discoloration, but no rust. I use it regularly, and have had it for a year.

There is no metal inside. It's just pvc. It looks sturdy enough, in my opinion. My boat has actually hit it a couple of times and it's fine. I have a small boat though.

I would assume it would be the glass cover as glass frequently contains lead. The containers are stainless steel which shouldn't have any lead and the outer cover and feet are a plastic resembling bakelite.

That's the first I've heard of the lead paint possibility. I've been using this item for about a year now. Guess that's where the few brain cell have gone missing...Would like someone to find out definitely though.

There is a hole in the bottom, however you do have to scoop out the ash. Otherwise I really do like the grill. We have had it for 3 months and it has been put to use.

That is correct. The bottom outside area is unglazed. By the way, the part that is glazed is glazed with 100% lead free glazes.

Hi; As far as I can tell the one I purchased through Amazon has a flat finish finish on it. I don't have the feeder here where I am but I will check it this weekend. I have had the feeder in use through the winter and the wood has not weathered at all. Just some bird poop on it.

I am quite sure it's the underside; mine is still buried in snow in the back yardWhat I will say is a down-side is that it got mildew in crevices, under the table insert; this is Northern New York, and mildew is not real common here

To the best of my knowledge there is no lead. I would find it difficult to believe that any item intended for food or drinks would be permitted to be sold unless marked for decorative purposes only.

Could someone upload a picture how the package is supposed to look on the inside. Mine looks like there is a couple of empty spots in the plastic molding but can not find a picture to reference it. Thanks!

It is metal inside too....not plastic. Mine is discolored a bit because of hard well water.

Just went and examined mine and didn't find any coatings. Has a rubber seal for the two chambers, that's it for non-metallic parts.

I emailed the company and asked about the paint and they said that they use a non-toxic, water-based paint. If there is any lead present then they would be in violation of safety codes. You might ask the company about third party testing steps that they take if you are concerned about the potential of lead.

The pot is metal on the exterior and the same on the interior but the interior seems like it's coated with a dark "non-stick like" color. My wife loves it and I got huge hubby points.
