I have been in the market for a pellet grill for about 6 months. After doing an extensive amount of research I chose the Z Grill 550B. It is the perfect size for just my wife and I. It was incredibly easy to put together and do the initial burn. Instructions were easy to follow. After having the grill for a few week we have smoked ribs and a pork shoulder. They turned out wonderful and the grill held the 250 temp perfectly. We have grilled chicken, pork chops and steaks and it is an excellent grill.
