It takes some time to figure out how to start this correctly without the fire department showing up at your door. However the overal quality is not that great.After only single use, the paint is coming off from the body. Paid too much $ for this to happen on the first use. I'm probably returning it

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT GRILL
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2017
Verified Purchase
It takes a lot of considering to layout $500 for a smoker/ grill when many other smokers or grills are considerably less. This unit bypasses all of the smaller electric or propane smokers on the market. The smoke setting allows me to first smoke the meat ( beef roast) and then raise the temperature to finish the roast or steaks to a crispy crust on the meat. The unit lights easily and you really get smoke during the warm up. I haven't found a way to dump the bin to change wood types such as Hickory to Apple, but it can be done. Also, this grill is heavy duty materials and should hold up well for many yaers.

Can’t say enough good things about this grill! I was really having a hard time deciding between the great taste of true charcoal but all the hassle and the easy of propane but without that cook out smell and taste in the food. This is the perfect alternative, fast, very very easy, great flavor of food, incredible second to second control of cooking temperature. Just can not say enough about how happy I am with this grill. Absolutely spend the few extra bucks and get the one with a flame broiler option. That is just a great feature for searing and putting perfect grill marks on anything.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the best way to cook
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2017

I have only used this grill once but wanted to share my thoughts while they are fresh in my mind. I will add more in the future as I use this grill/smoker more. The grill is pretty easy to put tougether. I found that everything fit and I likely could have gotten it put together without instructions. However, I don’t recommend trying that. Biggest negative so far is the amount of wood pellets it consumes. A 20 lb bag of wood pellets cost around $20 on Amazon. Outside of Amazon, I have found 40 lb bags for about $22. So, based on the consumption I experienced, I will likely buy the largest gabs I can find. Also need to keep in mind that at first, the hopper consumes a pretty large amount of pellets. Also, the longer you cook and the hotter you cook leads to greater consumption of pellets. Changing the “P” value up (causes more smoking for smoky taste” increases the time between the hopper feeding more pellets into the combustion chamber.

Okay, enough with all of that. I decided to make large bone in, skin on Chicken Thighs. I chose these because they are cheap in the event I screw up the cooking process. They also won’t take nearly as long to smoke. I added some French Fries and Potato Totters in a cast iron pan. Made the mistake of not putting the top on the pan and the potatoes ended up having too much of a smoky taste. First lesson learned. After the burn in which is required before cooking, I started the grill and put the Chicken in skin facing up. I used a combination of a Butt Rubb, Montreal Steak, Onion Powder and garlic powder. I left it on the Smoke setting and changed the “P” setting from the factory default of 4 to 6. The higher the number, the more smoking occurs. One the Smoke setting, the internal temperature is around 180 degrees F. It was really windy last night but it was mild. Outdoor conditions will have some effect on the cooking process. After one hour, I increased the temperature to 250 degrees F. I did this because my family was starting to ask when it would be ready. At the time, the internal temperature of the meat was 130 degrees F. About half an hour later, I decided to take the temperature up to 400. By the way, I left the slider piece under the grill surface positioned so no direct flames were under the cooking surface which is what you do when you are smoking. If you want to use this more like a traditional grill, position such that the openings are visible allowing the flame and heat to be more like a grill. Prior to taking it off, I brushed some BBQ sauce that I mixed with Apple Cider Vinager. The results of the Chicken were unbelievable. My wife was concerned that th smoky flavor would be too much. Definitely was not the case but it was just right. Chicken was very moist and the best that I have ever cooked previously on a grill. It is also very nice to be able to set the temperature and know it will keep the internal temperature at the set temperature. I kept checking to make sure but it was right on, even though it was really windy last night. So far four star based on pellet consumption. I will drop back in and add more as I cook different things. Planning to smoke a turkey in this tomorrow for Christmas.

Smoked the Turkey yesterday. It was a bit of a challenge as the temperature was in the lower 30’s and it was very windy. So, I had some issues maintaining internal temperature. The turkey also cooked faster than I expected. My original setting was around 250 degrees F. I lowered it to 200 when the temperature approach 300. I was also worried about the turkey being too smoky for some peoples taste. So, I lowered the P setting to discourage as much smoke however this tends to make the grill run a little hotter. The wind began to subside and I was able to hold temperature better. Pellet consumption was not too bad either. When the turkey was at 125 degrees I decided to shut down and bring the turkey inside. I finished it off in the oven and pulled it when the temp was 165. Everyone loved it. Not too smoky. The skin was perfect. I also made up a sauce of honey, chicken stock and apply cider vinager. Basted it every 45 minutes or so. Breast meet was nice and moist. Did not need any gravy. I am going to try more turkeys in the future and mess around with different temperature set points. Perhaps next time, I will leave it on the smoke setting for the first hour or so and then crank it up to 350 or so to see what impact this has with the goal of cooking it a bit faster. May dry it out more but will be interesting to see.

Holy crap!! This smoker is awesome and I mean really awesome. I have been smoking for years and this weekend I made my best food ever. I smoked 6 racks of ribs, two briskets and 18 sausages. Everything was perfection. I ordered two other smokers over the last 9 days and both broke within 25 minutes of use. This smoker ran for almost two days straight with no issues.

Next week I will do some pulled pork and seared steaks.

The P-Setting on this smoker is the best invention giving you complete control of the smoke.
