This is our first, and presumably last, pellet grill. It's well made, heavy materials and everything fits properly.
It was shipped in two boxes and took both my wife and I to move them to the back, one at a time.
We set it up with the tools they provided in around an hour to an hour and a half. I would say that two people are a necessity when assembling this grill.
Once set up, we ran through the start-up sequence and everything performed well.
The only suggestion would be to not put the sticker on the grease shield. It had to be burned off....
As far as performance... GREAT! First night, we grilled ribeye steaks, then next night, thin rib steaks, then we smoked ribs on it the third night. The controlled temperatures were a dream to cook with.
