This cooks great!! Only drawback is having to disassemble everything to start the initial pellets, after that its good to go. Also a bit disappointed in the inside cooking area, quite small. Wish i had seen it first, may have bought a bigger one.

This pellet grill meets the same expectations as a much more expensive grill.

Grill takes forever to heat up and has a hard time maintaining temperature.

The grill takes a very long time to reach set temperature and when it does if you open the lid the temperature goes back down considerably. Also it shut down on me in the middle of grilling with a ER w message.

Best decision ever made...

Very easy to put together. Love the meat probes for exact temps. Easy to clean the ashes in the fire box. I just blow it out with a blower.

Easy to put together but was missing 2 bolts for smoke stack

Cooked a prime rib Christmas Eve and it turned out perfect. Literally holds the exact temp I’ve set it for every time I have checked it. Buy a pellet smoker tube to add smoke flavor as it doesn’t have enough for many people without it.

Wasn’t built heavy duty and the lid was messed up and didn’t seal properly

It was easy to assemble. I’ve been using it and it works great. The only thing I would of liked was some kind of cook book to help with using it. It also doesn’t have it cover for that pellet grill. I’m pleased I bought it.

I smoked a turkey for three hours, then turned up the heat to 325°. It was moist and delicious!! Very impressed with this grill. It holds the temperature much better than my friends, who have other brands!!

Great deal if you can find it for around $500

This smoker is a good value when you can grab it on sale. It’s much larger than the trager. It does maintain temps within a degree or two of the set point very well. There is not a “smoke” option on it, but it does have a very wide range for the temp settings. It even has a internal meat probe.

Overall I am very please with my new pellet smoker/grill. I did quite a bit of research before purchasing and knew the limitations of pellet grills. This one holds the temperature great with the exception of when I smoke at the losing temp of 180 degrees it wouldn't go that low.

Easy to assemble. Have used it five times so far. Mmmmm, brisket! Keeps temperature within 5 degrees of set temp. Pleased with this purchase.

I have barbequed tri tip, ribs. Pork chops and a pork loin, they all came out perfect, very moist and tender. It is one of the easiest barbeques to use I have ever owned.

Metal was a little thin, and it had a hard time keeping temperature if it was breezy.

Seems to work more like a smoker than a "barbeque grill" but the first set of meats we cooked came out delicious. My "Grill Sergeant" really liked the built in meat probe/thermometer.

So far, so good.

Easy to assemble. Temp within 5 degrees. Heats up faster than other pellet grill owned . Have used 3 times so far .

This is more of an indirect grill than smoker. The best part of the grill is the control unit. You have to make sure that the hopper is filled to the top or you will run out of pellets.

This grill is excellent. It take about 30 minutes to assemble and if you look on YouTube the Rec Tec Stampede assembly it's the same grill. Rec Tec is all stainless and a lot more money and an excellent grill, this is a cheaper made model made by the same manufacture but not stainless. It has the PID controller, the upgrade auger, and the ceramic lighter which set Rec Tec apart from all the others makes and models. I can see this grill lasting along time if you take of it. Wait for Home Depot to put it on sale around $534 and them jump on it. I think it's still a deal at $800 but if you can wait for the sale more money in your pocket. I researched this grill and compared this to many makes and models but for the upgrades that matter the most, it became a no brainer. Set it and forget it, it holds the temperature like an oven and you'll get a great smoke ring.

My first pellet grill, absolutely love it.

First off, the first grill I received was damaged in shipping and didn’t work at all. Getting a replacement, once I was able to speak to the right department and person, was actually very quick. Replacement grill arrived very quickly! Excellent smoker! Smoke ring is quite impressive! Easy use

we have used this grill for pork chops, baking potatoes and smoked a roast on 225 for 8 hours was awesome, only thing I would do different is make a catch bin on the bottom for cleaning out ashes rather than having to break down grill to clean.

First smoker was rusted. Returned for refund. Bought same one again and it can dented. Returned that one. There will be no third times a charm
