I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He absolutely loved it. It's small so it works for me and my hubby but if you have a larger family or plan on roasting whole turkeys (18lbs + ) then I would recommend the larger grills. My father in law has a Traeger and this one heats up faster and maintains temperature better. I'm not sure if it's because it is a smaller grill but nonetheless it's a great unit!
