Assembly was straightforward and simple although a little more information in the instructions could have been helpful. However, YouTube video provided necessary color for easy completion! All fastener holes lined up perfectly although an extra hand is a must for attaching the four legs.

Set-up was easy, instructions were brief and to the point. As I was assembling I noticed it is well built. Getting it ready was well described in manual. I am already enjoying it. I may be a bit cautious, do not want to rush, time will show durability and reliability - both are important to me. I am optimistic.

I love the overall design of this grill. It has an extra large hopper for long cooks, a powerful controller, and thoughtful design on the barrel and shelving. It does suffer from the same design flaw as every other grill on the market with a floating auger motor and gearbox. That's my only major design critique and mandatory upgrade. It does work, but it can be made to work much better for just a few dollars.

Overall the grill seems to be sturdy and I look forward to trying it. My only complaint was there were no assembly instructions included so I had to look for YouTube videos of other models to do the assembly which left me with some extra parts to figure out where they go.

Been eyeballing a Recteq for awhile but when this went on sale figure i would give it try. So far it seems decent. About to start my first cook with it.

Not difficult to assemble alone...made easier by removing the lid till fully assembled. Hopefully first cook will be today. Buddies have Rectec so we shall compare with later post

Grill seems good so far only used two times, but cooks well. The only thing I would say is the instructions on the startup are not the greatest and there are no good videos I could find to help.

I've had my oakford 875 pro for about a week now and it claims to have three different modes, a grill mode, a smoke mode, and a keep warm mode and it will not switch between modes I kind of feel like I wasted my money on this product

As the review states there were no assembly instructions and the registration website is non-responsive. Won't stay logged in. No feedback. Hope the grill is better.

When I used the paint around the chimney part lit on fire. It was the first time we used it and the paint and metal started burning as you can see in the picture.
