Everything worked perfectly and was easy to set up. I have never smoked before but made a spectacular Rib roast and the next day a perfect try tip. The temp probe in the meat works perfectly the digital cooking temp is a little sensitive and fluctuates a lot it's a little too sensitive that will make you think the grill is not operating properly. But the proof of function is in the end product and my meats were truly the best I have ever had with perfect smoke rings fabulous flavor and truly easy to use.
