Got the keg on a business rewards site. Chose it over the "green" smoker due to reviews I had read. I am very happy with its performance. The only thing lacking is a balanced cast iron grill top. When you use the Multi-tool to lift out the cast iron grill it wants to tip to one side and can land on your foot if your not careful. Other than this minor inconvenience if your on the fence about the Keg.....you won't be disappointed and be shocked how well made the keg is. I have done pizzas, low and slow ribs ( the Keg easily maintains 225 for long periods with a good diffuser) and seared steaks. My friends that have the "green smoker" feel that this Keg is as good as theirs if not better.
