Pros: cheaper then most other pellet smokers, seemed to be a great quality, not as difficult to put together as the instructions state.Cons: says you are only supposed to use pellets made by the same company.  If the pellets run out in the smoker it will shut off.  You are not supposed to use it when it is raining.  The one we got came with a few issues the package was fine and well wrapped, but when we got inside the packaging it was really greasy like someone returned it.  After getting it out there were a few parts that were bent or dented causing me to make a few altercations. The bottom tray was bent so the sqrew didn’t match up till a straightens it out. When I got to the grill part one of the pieces that held the grill were bent up and I had to bend it down with a pair of pliers.  Although we had a few issues it did not affect the functionality of the unit and the meat that comes off the smoker is absolutely delicious.
