The grill itself works as advertised. I would suggest two improvements to the design. One, a drawer under the shelf on the right end, and two, a shelf attached to the legs. There are threaded anchors already installed on the legs so I might try fabricating a shelf on my own.

It maintains a good temperature and usually works. The surface area is huge and space is not a problem, although you have to be aware that the center is going to be quite a different temperature than the sides, which is to be expected. The app is good and makes it easy to see and modify temps without going outside.
My first gripe is that it doesn't always start. (Sometimes I have to turn it back off, wait 15 minutes, remove the pellets, and try again) During a long cook all my pellets are on one side of the hopper and don't feed properly. Wanting to use this as a replacement for our awesome Weber gas grill that was old enough to drive, I didn't realize that I would always smell of smoke after using it. I refill pellets way faster and at more expense than I did gas cannisters. Gas also didn't leave any ash on the grates or food. If I had to choose again I would have bought another gas grill and not a pellet grill and just found a way to smoke the occasional brisket like that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Haven't used it as much as I would like to but that will happen soon. I have smoked ribs for many years on different machines but I can truly say the first test run on this smoker they were the best ribs I have ever made. I was worried about wood ash being on the meat I had seen on other brands but after close inspection I found none on mine. Thanks Weber!
What a Wonderful Experience! Used to own a Weber gas grill after many other brands and loved it. Really wanted to go with a Wood Pellet grill and tried a couple of versions then saw the Weber and am so glad I purchased. Heats up really quick, easy clean up and the Flavor......Well let me say our Thanksgiving Turkey was a real hit!
I have been pretty happy with my grill for the past 1.25yrs. I don't use the wifi feature but I do appreciate that you can smoke low or heat the grill up really hot for those times you want to grill burgers or sear some meat. I recently found that the auger in mine failed. I think it was related to some jam, IDK. Anyhow, I just called Support and they are sending me a new auger and feeder tray free of charge. Even though I never registered my grill. Pretty cool.
I would recommend this to a friend!
