This is a great grill and smoker. I highly recommend it. We had a Traeger for many years and we had to sell it when we moved. We were looking to replace it a couple years later, and after all the reviews, I thought we would try this. It seems a much better quality than what Traeger has become. The three levels of inside shelves is awesome! It also has a side shelf and the storage underneath. The only negative I will give it is that it does not have a pellet clean out for the hopper for easy change of the pellet flavors, but our Traeger didn't have one either, so not devastating. That is the one feature the Pit Boss has that others don't. Overall, we are really happy with our choice! Get one!
