I am a huge wood side load guy , i have a super expensive wood reverse flow smoker . My HOA banned wood fires . So after much research and going in and looking pulling shaking and wobbling i landed in this bad boy.  Strong construction, solid as hell . First cook was 3 sets of swine ribs. The temp locked in the entire cook, only time it dipped was when i opened up for sprits every 45 mins but regained temp super fast. Only thing is when assembling they do a match the star and triangle sticker , it was revered . That got me a little confused. Other than that she is a strong independent grill that is going to make a whole bunch of food .
