My grill was delivered on time. I put it together by myself, took about two hours, but I wasn't in a hurry. The grill itself is beautiful. I spent the next day running the set-up/seasoning. The next day I smoked a brisket, baby back ribs and wings. Everything came out awesome. When I cleaned out the fire chamber, I was surprised to find only about a half inch of ashes, after running the grill for over 9 hours. The efficiency of this grill is amazing.
