I purchased this grill for Father’s Day because of its reputation. Other grills were certainly less money but I went with the quality being described by 
many. Thus far, the digital therapy thermometer is inaccurate (replaced) the heat probe stopped lighting pellets (replaced) the pellet lid on the bin broke (spot welds - replaced) and now the auger is not turning. I take great pride in my grill and I maintain it meticulously. This brand should break down like this. Several of my friends have had very few issues on older pellet grills. Mine? Not so much.
