I bought this when the 1050’s first came out. Assembly wasn’t too bad, although the gravity stack seems to lean a little to the right even after adjusting, but that seems to be a common issue. Overall it’s easy to use, light, and clean. The only issues are the ambient temp probe is not calibrated correctly, so I recommend to use separate temperature gauge, then adjust as needed with the controller on the smoker. Be sure to make sure you have plenty of charcoal when trying to sear at 500+, it will burn through pretty quick and you may run out of charcoal and relight the grill.
