Assembly was pretty easy, this thing is packaged very well. Every part is wrapped and packed in the drum. I'm still learning how this thing works, have only used it a few times. Jerky is super easy, burgers and brats are a breeze. I did have some issues with ribs, the sun was heating it up and giving me faults temp readings. Little bit of a learning curve. I still have a lot of learning to do, but it has been fun figuring it out. The 1 and only thing i don't like about it is this model doesn't have the removable burn pot,so you do have to pull it apart every few cooks and vacuum out the ashes. Not the end of the world, i thought it was a standard feature on these grills. All n all, solid beginner grills and bang for the buck.

I have been using this smoker nonstop since the day I picked it up can’t beat the price the size and all the bells and whistles. It comes with. I’m in love.

Its a grill that wants to be a smoker. It will infuse some smoke but not like an offset smoker but then you can't sear with an offset smoker either. The lack of a heat diffuser over the fire pot makes the center of the grill considerably more heat intensive than the area away from the fire pot so you have to pay attention to where you put your meat and keep a pretty close eye on it. All in all, it was worth the discounted price and I will continue to use it. The more I use it the better/more easily I can judge where to put my meat and adjust my time accordingly.

Got this for my sons birthday first pellet grill and he really likes it has done a lot of grilling since he got it a couple weeks ag

Coming from a charcoal grill, this pit boss is next level. Maintaining a consistent temperature and the Wi-Fi capability is the holy grail. My only wish would be for a removable ash try as it would make for an easier clean up.
