" ... Love this grill! ... "

" ... I had a gas grill for years and charcoal before. ... I love this grill. ... I grill all year so will have to build a shelter for winter/rainy grilling. ... "

" ... Also works great as a grill. ... "

" ... The grill works fine not the best for the price and it proclaiming that you can cook like a pro competition is a far stretch cause the fan works too much that throws off temps in the smoker drastically it's meant to smoke small items nothing big like a brisket tried and it I left it for 3 hours and it got from starting Temp at 225 ( with p6) and manage to reach to 400 in the main chamber in 30 minutes even though the auger box said it was only 275. ... "

" ... Excellent grill/smoker. ... I have used the grill six times and each time it amazes me. ... "

" ... This was delivered to my house with the box falling apart and stuff falling out. ... One leg flange was bent. ... The pellet hopper grate was bent. ... "

" ... One of the metal plates connecting the legs to the kettle was quite bent. ... While I was able to bent the leg into reasonable shape, it still didn't bind flush to the grill and Im worried the cooking surface will corrode quickly. ... "

" ... Both grates broken and all the screws broke open and poured everywhere inside the grill. ... All this is due to their substandard packaging on what looks like would be a nice smoker if it didn’t arrive broken. ... "

" ... When i wanted to use it the auger motor was not working and a plate was bent on the inside that i had to fix myself. ... "

" ... this order broke a few months after buying it. ... "

" ... There is supposed to be a screw that holds the auger bushing into the housing. ... I found the screw lying loose in the housing. ... I rotated the bushing 90° and put the screw in a non stripped area of the bushing and reassembled. ... "

" ... Paint is chipped off of the grates. ... "

" ... Item came with hollowed out screw hole in the plastic collor. ... "

" ... Both grates broken and all the screws broke open and poured everywhere inside the grill. ... "

" ... I had to empty the hopper of pellets, disconnect all of the wires from the bottom side and take apart the hopper assembly. ... There is supposed to be a screw that holds the auger bushing into the housing. ... The screw wasn't there, which allowed the motor and augur to back itself out and jam against the back of the housing. ... I found the screw lying loose in the housing. ... I rotated the bushing 90° and put the screw in a non stripped area of the bushing and reassembled. ... "
