Junk, just bought it a few weeks ago, have used it 4 times, 3 of which I kept getting an Error message. Nothing worse than throwing your meat on the smoker then coming back a few hours later to an error message and the temperature has fallen to ambient.

Great grill have used it about 10 times since purchasing it 2 month ago. Does a great job with the smoking and was able to keep it at about 200, can get it lower if you really work with it, but for just setting it and forgetting it, worked great. As others have stated purchase good quality pellets and keep them dry and you'll have great results also.

I picked this pellet smoker for what looks like a clearance price of $289. It is well made, well packed and after my first smoke, I feel like I robbed them. Assembly took me 1.25 hours by myself. It was straightforward and easy to do, all you need is a Phillips screw driver. Two people could knock it out in a half hour. Prior to first smoke I read the instructions, and the smoker performed flawlessly. The temp would swing 15 degrees so I set the set point 10 degrees lower. The quality and amount of smoke was impressive. My neighbor has a “Name brand” expensive smoker and he was impressed. Overall this is an amazing smoker for the price, I highly recommend. FYI most people that complain clear haven't read the instructions, most negative reviews on here are answered by the instructions.

I wanted a pellet smoker, but absolutely refused to pay for the Traeger. My wife saw this guy on sale at Sam's and picked it up as a gift. I started with burgers, dogs, chicken, and steaks but have now moved onto big roasts and hot smoked fish. Completely surprised by the quality and performance and highly suggest this unit! Happy cooking!

Setup was a breeze, took me an 1.5 hours to put together by myself. Cooked some pork roasts on the smoke setting (180-200 degrees) for about 6-7 hours and the food was amazing. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the cleanup, I spent a lot of time cleaning out the pellet Hopper box after my cook. You can't leave the unused pellets in the grill as they could collect moisture and clog the feeder. I had to remove the the plate on top of the box to get all the pellets out. The exit valve on the back of the box doesn't allow the pellets to exit in one shot you have to use either your hand or a utensil to feed the rest of the pellets out manually. Then you have to vacuum out the rest of the pellets in the feeder (you can only get so many out). My hope is the pellets I couldn't get out won't ruin my next cook. Overall so far an awesome pellet smoker with an unbeatable price.

This grill gives you all the features of a Traeger or any other high end smoker with the added bonus of double wall construction. The PID controller is consistant in maintaining temperatures. It does this at a substantially lower cost than the so called high end smokers. As with any electronics you may or may not experience a ERR code. If so you just need to take a breath and the time to troubleshoot as most are easily remedied.

I am a novice griller, and this thing works great. I've cooked on it three times and have had the best results. My grilled chicken has never been so moist, and the steak was great. I made a spatchcocked chicken tonight and it was fantastic had a nice smoky flavor. The only reason I can't rave about the burgers was due to my inexperience grilling burgers.

Gotta say, if I had bought this product at it's original price I'd have to declare it a decent to very good value. At the closeout price I got it for it's extraordinary. No matter what, this thing is an excellent little cooker. Temps hold rock solid at +or- 10 deg. Using the "P" settings I was able to control temps on the smoke setting from just about 200 down to 170. Everything I've done on it from steaks, whole chicken, chicken pieces, back ribs, even corn has been outstanding. Things I'm not fond of? First, while it comes with 2 temp probes, they have stainless steel jackets rather than much nicer and safer silicone, second, operational instructions are awful at best, third, there are no disassembly instructions for if you should need to replace a part i.e. an ignitor, or fully clean out the auger, etc. Last, I really would have liked to have seen at the very least a Bluetooth controller or better a wifi. But, otherwise this thing is a rock solid unit, as well made if not better than Traegers I've seen costing up to $1k For the $$$ you save here, buy a bluetooth or wifi thermometer and enjoy. I recommend using AntiSeize on all fasteners during assembly. Even down to removing screws internally and coating them as well. It'll be time well spent if it ever needs to come apart for service. Would also like to know how to order replacement pieces

First purchased in the beginning of 2022 and it worked well for a couple months then out of the blue we kept getting the ERR code on the display and it shut down. no rhyme or reason why it was happening. Customer service was great and they sent out a new unit. It worked fine until I tried to smoke a Thanksgiving turkey and of course....ERR....no smoked turkey. I again called customer service and was given the option of a refund or a new unit, I obviously chose the refund. Thoroughly disappointed.

I can't get the temp to remain at 250/275. I have it set at 200 and the temperature is closer to 300+. It doesn't make any sense. I tried keeping the lid open but the temp doesn't drop whatsoever and it makes the cook inconsistent. I will be returning this unit ASAP
