This is my third Pellet grill (donated my others to my children) but my first Broil King. I was a bit skeptical that the price difference from the other named brand pellet grills would be noticeable, I was wrong!! Starting from the 250lbs of solid quality.. But the smoker itself works like a charm, the digital thermostat hold the temp very well as well. I don't regret this purchase at all. Highly recommended the Regal 500.
