I keep mine on a short side of the deck and I keep one of the tables folded and one up so that it is the right size. The other table can be up but it partially blocks the stairs leading down the deck.
In summary I fold down only because of space constraints.
I bought a generic cover from Home...
I have never brined one before but I do know that I go out of my way to buy pork that has not been injected with saltwater.
When I grill pork I like to season with kosher salt and a milder ground chile such as anch or auji amarillo.
In my opinion lean tenderloin is best cooked on a grill or in a pan to get a good sear. They do not take long at all to cook as they are rather small and you do not want to overcook them. Kinda like cooking a pork tenderloin but quicker as you do not want to cook them past medium rare unless you...

All you need for great ribs are:
meat
fire
rub
What you do not need:
boil
foil
sauce

Try propping the door open? It would waste a lot of fuel I would wager.
I have a Q300 and I have never been happy grilling indirect on it. It is fantastic for direct but the design is not conducive to indirect cooking.

Stainless is hard to clean and I prefer the porcelain models for this reason. Is the summit polished stainless? If it is brushed stainless if you clean it thoroughly with an abrasive you may polish just that spot and make it look spotty.
I have smoked during a heavy thunderstorm in a DETACHED garage with the doors open.
I would never attempt it with an attached garage. Really it is not a good idea unless you have adequate ventilation and with the doors closed you likely will not have that.
Wings is one thing that I have not mastered. I can get great tasting meat but with bland rubbery skin. I can also get great skin but with meat that is dry. I also tend to burn the skin every now and then.
I dropped mine on the handle the second time I used it. There was exposed steel by the weld where the handle bent. I sanded it down and applied hi temp paint.
