Love the taller wider pellet hopper/ SS lid. It holds a 20lb bag compared to only 18 in a traeger. 
Make sure you follow the initial instructions for first start up very important. It cooked a little hotter than the setting the first time but after that it settled down quite nicely. I’m very happy with grill. My only suggestion is make it a little clearer that the 1000 doesn’t have a dump shut for some reason I thought it had one
