Been great so far. Not too much of a learning curve, but there is one if you’re upgrading from charcoal. Super convenient, good space, and a nice clean smoke flavor. Would get dirty smoke frequently with my Weber. Just bought the pellet smoker tube attachment because if you like to smoke hot ‘n’ fast (anything above 250), you might not get as much flavor as you’d like. That’s the only downside I can see, but that’s just pellet smokers in general. This one is tremendous quality and great design. Everything I’ve made so far has been great. Ribeye steaks, pork steaks, ribs, and a couple butts so far. All great flavors. Pellet options are great for mixing up flavors.
