This thing is idiot proof ! The first time out I put two whole chickens on it and three hrs later they came out looking like a TV commercial. Love this thing, you can’t go wrong with it.

My trusty, portable grill!

I purchased Luigi, yes I named him, just before Memorial day of this year. He's been a pretty trustworthy grill and I'm seriously considering purchasing a second one as a backup. I use Luigi to compete at SCA Steak Cookoffs and I'll be counting on him when I compete at the World Championship in March of 2022. My friend/teammate has the Lowe's version and Mario, yes that's the name of my friend's grill, has served him will with a few issues (auger broke at a comp) and he has purchased a back up just in case these little workhorses decide to take the day off. I wish it had handles on the sides just because they're bulky to carry around & I'm always afraid I'm going to drop my little buddy when I move him from the vehicle to the table for a competition. I'm super happy with my purchase and would totally buy another when they come back in stock. I've attached pics of Luigi at a competition (you can see his buddy Mario in the background) as well as a picture of the steak that won me a chance to compete at the World's.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I upgraded from my 850 Pro Series Gen 2 to the new Gen 3. Installation and set up was easy! Love the new upgrades and the new controller is awesome! Works well with the new Pit Boss app too! The 5 degree temp increments are game changer from previous smoker! Love the extra room! The warranty is a great peace of mind, can’t beat it!

I bought my 1150 pro series 3 a week ago. It comes with only two probe ports. The temperature can be changed in increments of 5 degrees.

Almost 2 years in...

I was gifted this grill (with a little nudging on my part) and it is perfect. I canceled the preassembly because I learn more about it assembling it myself, also, I trust myself.
The app was pretty bad a couple years ago, but has since gotten way better. Temperatures have been perfect for me as well. Originally 225F was lowest, but updates make it able to go a little lower.
The flame broiler is great for 1-2 pieces of meat at a time. Factor that in if you're cooking for a group, they may be grabbing their steaks in succession.
I live in a temperate location and use this year round, even in the snow. It's as easy as turning on the oven, almost feels like cheating.
Cleaning the broiler is a chore, but you don't have to do it often. I make sure to vacuum out the dust and ashes then disassemble and clean/oil everything once every 5-6 months depending on usage.
The smoke penetration is medium. I would say there are 2 other major brands who have better smoke penetration, but neither offer the flame broiler, which makes the most perfect revers sear steak you'll ever have. I also have a black R2D2 shaped smoker that has gotten almost no use since I got this thing.
I 100% recommend this product.

Seemed to go together pretty quickly, I cooked I 16 hour brisket which turned out pretty good, only thing is I had to keep adding to the hopper. But it's a smaller smoker so as expected

Compact, easy to handle and pretty good temperature hold! Only complaint is misleading description about the handles. It does not have carrying handles, which would be nice.

Used it for the first time this weekend an tried several different meats all came out good. The grill y easy to assemble and use. Lighting the grill is simple. Only thing that it could use is folding legs which would make it easier to use when you go somewhere.
I would recommend this to a friend!
