I had a pit boss pellet grill and really loved it after three years it died. So I decided to try Z grill. The grill is well made and fairly easy to assemble. I have cooked on it twice and like the way it preformed. I wish that it had a way to empty the hopper for pellets. The pit boss had a nice little door that you could open and empty the hopper.. I like to use different woods for different meats. I think I will be happy with the grill
