I'm looking at a Drolet Legend 1 and was wondering if anyone had good experiences with it?
 
The version 1 models had a permananent baffle that was not replaceable IIRC. That is the first thing to check.

I saw a post that it was stainless but didn't realize it was permanent. That may not be an issue as I'm pretty competent at fabrication. Other then that I wonder if the original is comparable to the Legend lll. It seems to have pretty good feedback. I just can't seem to dig much up about the original.
