Was disappointed with lack of instructions on how to use smoker after assembly.
The grill operates flawlessly! Smoke, and heat are easy to control so far. The only thing I seem to have issues with is one of the large wheels. When I push the grill it loosens the wheel bolt and when I pull it the wheel bolt/nut tightens and locks up so that needs to be looked into.
I have started to set it up and will be using it shortly. An amazing product at an amazing price. I’m very impressed. I also bought two bags of oak pellets and plan to buy cherry and hickory shortly.
I mostly wanted this for winter use. I am keeping it in the garage. I have used it three times so far. I had hoped for more smoke but it is what it is. I am use to a green egg so am going to have to cheat some. It is working out for the winter and nice to be inside.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I like the grill. Very solid construction. The only complaint I have is that there were marketing/advertising stickers inside the lid and on the outside of the hopper. When I tried to remove the stickers they tore into pieces. It took me a while to scrape off the stickers. Then I had to use citrus cleaner to try and get the sticker glue residue off the grill. Other than that it as fairly easy to setup and use.
I have used a gas grill for 30 years. Adding pellet tubes and temperature probes takes it to another level but this pellet grill knocks it out of the park. The PID controller keeps the temperature as accurate as my kitchen oven. The wood fired taste is unbelievable !!
