I will start by telling you i haven't done a lot of outdoor grilling, but I loved the ribs at the restaurant, but always hated paying the priced for my favorite meat. In summary, I will never eat ribs away from home again. If low and slow is what you are looking for, this is it. I have only had the Keg for a few months, but this is now the weekend activity of choice. I like to weight and the fact that it can be easily moved on the large wheels. The detachable side tables make cleanup extremely easy. The outside smooth metal finish also aids in the cleanup process. I bought too much charcoal, because the Keg hardly uses any for a 6 hour cook. We have done pizza, steaks, turkey, chicken, ribs. If prices come down, I plan on a large brisket next. If you are a new comer, this will be the first and last pit you buy.
