Better Than Expected For The Price

I recently purchased the Oakford 875 as a second pellet grill. Yesterday, my daughter and I assembled it without too much difficulty. I would strongly urge for two to tackle it since some of the connections require a lot of gymnastics. Earlier today, I burned it in and then smoked two racks of ribs. I must say it did a better job than expected for its price point. The only issue with assembly was my own making. We attached the bottom shelf backwards and did not notice it until it was completed. The mistake does not impact function so it will remain as attached. The biggest challenge was connecting the folding front shelf. Others have noted the same issue. It's control scheme is rather straight forward but I have not yet attempted to use the app. Time will tell.

Tom, thank you for this wonderfully detailed and honest review! We love that you and your daughter tackled this together, and your tip about needing two people for some of the connections is genuinely helpful for other buyers. We are glad the ribs turned out great despite the bottom shelf mix-up, and your note about the folding front shelf connection echoing other reviews is feedback we will make sure reaches our team. Please call us at 1-800-913-8999 to register your warranty. We hope the app adds even more value once you try it!

Grill is nice but…

This is our second grill the first one something was wrong with the touchscreen on the front. We're gonna see how this one works and hopefully it works out. Don't get me wrong all the food that we have cooked on. It is been awesome. I'm looking much more family night barbecues

Assembly

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.

Be Careful When Changing Out Hopper Pellets

Thus far, I am pleased with the quality of construction and performance. This is my second pellet grill, but first Nexgrill brand. I do have two concerns: attaching the fold down shelf and the location of the hopper's pellet "chute" for lack of a better word. Today, I attempted to change out the pellets in the hopper from a previous smoke. I keep my pellets in an industrial airtight tub like those available at Lowe's, etc. I place it as far as I could under the opening of the chute but the location of the bottom shelf prevented the tub from being centered. So, I repositioned (balanced) the tub on the shelf. Bad idea. when the tub was filling, the tub tipped over from the shelf and spread pellets all over the ground. Perhaps a relocation of the opening of the chute might prevent this from happening in the future. As far as the folding shelf, the attachment to the grill was a pain. Several reviewers made similar comments. It definitely requires two people to assemble. That said, the overall instructions were decent. Otherwise, I am pleased with the smoker.

Looks good!

I give it 4 stars just because is mandatory to complete the registration and haven't really used it yet. But overall, it looks good and was easy to set up! Some details on the process for the “before first use” are a little confusing and contradictory to some YT videos I've watched, but for now… It was a great buy for a first smoker.

Early Fathers Day Gift

I got this as an early father's day gift 2 weeks ago, since then I have done an overnight10.5 lb brisket and a 10.6 lb Pork Boston Butt. Of coarse did the YouTube prepping and my overwhelming vote on this is Fabulous, Fantastic, Awesome and any other wording that fits in that category. The clean up is a breeze and the pellet use on low and slow shocked me with how little it actually used. The build on this thing is like a tank, built strong and well. Would I recommend? With out a doubt ABSOLUTELY I would. Thanks for a well built unit Nexgrill. I will definitely be enjoying it for a very long time.

Looks great

Bizarrely, I cannot activate my warranty without leaving a review. I obviously haven't gotten to use it yet, but they insist. I think I'll love the grill, but I don't love practices used to fill a website with high reviews especially like this where I likely haven't used it yet. Assembly went well anyway.

CONTROL DISPLAY, NON FUCTIONAL

The control display is defective, in a way that it has a non-stopping beep, that won't let you select required options for correct start up. Requested a a new display previously with no answer from manufacturer. I most likely return to seller.

Hi Joseph, we are very sorry the control display is stuck beeping non-stop and preventing you from selecting the options you need to start up, and even more sorry a previous request for a new display went unanswered. That is not the support you should have received. Please call us directly at 1-800-913-8999 and we will make sure you get a replacement display this time.

Great Machine but missing parts

The machine is beautiful and I appreciate the materials used to build it. Unfortunately, I'm missing the Grease bucket foil liner, Grease bucket and Meat Probe. Part #s 21, 22 and 23.

Controller was bad the second time I tried to use it

I bought the smoker a few months ago and tried to use it for the second time after coming home from work and the control board is bad already
