Is a great smoker for the price

This smoker is a great unit for the price, have used it for the past month with no problems and temperature system stays at set temp. The only thing that could improve it would be a bigger hopper for pellets as it only lasts about 5 hour, but smoker needs to be checked at about that time so not that big of an issue.

Great deal, awesome grill!

I was skeptical about the quality of this grill since similar models of other brands were twice the price, but I'm happy to report that this thing is heavy duty! The shopping box arrived fairly mangled! But nothing was damaged. I opted not to pick up in club because it is very heavy and I didn't want to deal with getting it in and out of the car. Assembly took about an hour. I followed another reviewer's suggestion and unscrewed the grate that goes over the hopper to feed in the pellets in case I ever wanted to empty it. We've used it a handful of times and have loved the results for all. If you're in the fence, go for it! You don't regret it!

Great grill for a great price.

When I first got it the box was a little banged up but it wasn't bad and the grill was super cheap. I ended up having a bad controller but it was promptly replaced after contacting their support. It's been a while now and it's still working great. Size is much better for the price. Plus you get the fold out tray. Some expensive models don't even have that. Great grill for the value.

I believe this to be a superior value

It seems to be very similar to other models IE target and such. Has good smoke pretty good temputure (not perfect). Heat distribution is pretty good. It has stopped a few times on me once because the pelletes didn't slide down the hopper the other time I have no idea, but my ribs got cold instead of finishing when I went to the store for 30-40 min. I did have some issues with shipment. But I supposedly have new parts on there way. The knob was broken and the temp prob was cut. I was able to slice it back together, but not sure if that has impacted the performance doe to extra resistance in the line. This definitely has me catching the smoking bug. I think this is a great starter smoker and maybe a great ending one too.

pellet grill

I love the grill. My only complaint is that the hot rod went out the second day I received it and used it. Ive cooked on it twice and thats all. Had to call the company and they are replacing it but I hate to purchase something and then have to fix it two days later. I love the product but that needs to be addressed. Hope it works ok when I get the part.

Great value smoker

Pros: even heat, smoke setting for extra flavor, good grease management, relatively easy to clean, decent temperature control, lid fits good enough to manage smoke/temp, good build quality for price Cons: shipping damage and some deep scratches that appear to be from shipping and manufacturing. One leg mount bent and had to straighten with pliers. Temperature control knob was broken, company sent a replacement control unit quickly with no hassle. It's a mess of wires/plugs to replace temperature control unit and get everything tucked out of the way and secured. Takes about 2 hours to assemble ( not counting temperature control replacement) with one person, recommend 2 people for part of the assembly.

Easy to use, and well made

I had traditional wood sidecar smokers before. This smokers provides a guide smoking experience with virtually no effort. It really is set it and forget it. The temperature stability is excellent. The indirect heat in the oven is very even. It's only been a couple weeks, but I've smoke salmon, a couple whole chickens, 3 racks of baby back ribs, and an 8 lb brisket. Everything came out great. And this is a great price! I'd buy it again without hesitation.

Heavy Duty

Much more heavy duty than others I have looked at and cost much more. Assembly was a pain as they always are but once your done it's not so bad. I'm impressed how the temperature is spot on with the temperature setting. If you follow the startup instructions to the letter you will have no problems unlike me who thinks they know how it's suppose to work and not read. I had to shut it down and start all over. I followed instructions and it's worked great ever since. I'm glad I purchased it!

It's OK not Excellent

This is an average entry level pellet smoker. It works and cooks but does not have the features of a better quality smoker. Pellets will stack on the sides of the hopper due to flat surfaces on both sides. The grill plates are not cast iron and can not be cleaned with a wire brush. And there is not a trap door to clean the ashes from the heating element. Overall it's an entry level smoker and does not have the features of more expensive pellet grills. Clean up takes more time. It comes down to the question of price vs convenience. Be prepared to do some clean up on this unit but also be prepared to save money on this unit. Everyone has to make their own personal choice, I chose saving money and purchasing this unit.

Impressed!!

I recently purchased this pellet grill after a year long search. The price of the grill caught my attention. I had handled a number of pellet grills in my search, most in the $500 to 800 range. I was extremely surprised when I received this grill in the mail, I kid you not, when I say this is a sturdy build with what feels like high grade materials. It feels much more substantial than the ones I had considered. More important than the build, was the fact that it holds temperature. I haven't had much time with it yet but I have been suprised by the build and ability to hold temps while being offered at such a reasonable price. Impressed.
