I purchased this unit and found the assembly to be straightforward. The only thing that would have improved the experience would be having identifying stickers on more of the components. While the photos in the manual were good, there is always room for improvement, though it wasn’t difficult to put together at all.
I’ve owned it for about a month now, and it has been great so far. I have already cooked beef roasts and whole chickens; it does an excellent job with indirect cooking for larger items. It performs just as well for direct cooking—you get plenty of heat and a nice, even sear.
The main reason I chose this model was the warranty, as I want a grill that lasts. While I can’t comment on its long-term durability yet, I am very satisfied with the performance so far.
