When you combine the flavor of a kamado style grill with the convenience of the automated temperature control technology, there was no way this machine would be anything less than a homerun! I have smoked low and slow for 12 hours on it, grilled steaks for my whole extended family on it, seared to perfection on it, with so much more to come. Trust me when I say you don't want to pass up the opportunity to purchase this seriously hardworking grill!
