I really like my new grill! It was pretty simple to assemble and easy to use. It imparts a nice smoke flavor. The only downside I have encountered is that the temperature tends to swing a bit, in my experience, on the high side. For example, if I said it to 225 I'll occasionally see the gauge jump to 250 and higher. Not enough to ruin the food, but it's noticeable. Overall though this is a great grill and I definitely don't regret buying it.
