There are good things and bad things about this grill.  To begin, it is incredibly easy to get started, it's very intuitive (love the wifi) and it is very pleasing to the eye.  An honorable mention is what looks like bullet proof customer service and product support plan.  The bad is the dust created by the the incenerated pellets.  Because there is a fan that circulates the heat, it also circulates a bit of the dust.  It is also recommended to purchase a shop vac to vacuum the dust.  Also, the chimney end of the grill seems to have a hot spot, as well as the edges of the grease ramp.  I noticed my left rack of ribs (chimney side) was cooking quicker than the others.  It could have been the rack of ribs but my gut tells me it's hotter on that end.  The smoke is a bit mild but I can live with that with the ease of use.  Overall, I like the grill, however I find myself charing steaks on my green egg and finishing them on the Traeger.
