I use mine at least once a week have done everything from smoking pork to grilling steaks.  I even roasted some chicken and potatoes on it.  Temperature control takes a little experimenting with the smokestack to get it just right and there are 2 temperature zones in the grill so you have to be aware of this so you cook things evenly.  This is an issue that I have heard many of the people who own higher dollar grills have also so I think with a little more adjustment I should be able to work that out.  The ceramic coated grills are a breeze to clean and lining the drip tray and bucket with foil makes clean up a breeze.  I won't go back to an electric smoker or a charcoal grill again I love the convenience of the pellet grill.
