Had it two days. Cooked a brisket, 8 hours. 12 chicken breasts skinless boneless, 6 hours. Used about 1/2 bag of pellets so far. Temperature runs about 25 degrees over selected temp, according to it's own thermometer. Stupidly easy to use. Easy to assemble. Heavy delivery be ready to get help to move it to your assembly area. May never use my Weber again, and I'm a 25 year Weber guy. Didn't get my "free" cover tho.
