Pros

Added the sidekick and shelves, they make things much more convenient. Also the newer led interface w/dual probes is very nice.

Cons

I'm surprised this gets such rave reviews. It's pretty lame that i'm penalized for not hassling them earlier. The advertising says that the grill comes with the new pid gen 2 controller.

The temperature swing is insane and totally inconsistent. The further from the burner your items are, the lower their temp. I believe that either the controller is faulty or the temp probe is telling the controller it is too warm already as it read fl...  Read More

I just believe the gen 2 pid controller needs some help as far as the quality of the user interface.


Overall i’m happy with the grill but if you want something with all the bells and whistles this ain’t it.

Price


The price is very reasonable and the extra features are a bonus.


It came highly recommended and the price was very good.

Competitiveness


I have used a kamado style grill for 15 years.

    The fault lies in understanding what a pellet grill is

    Its mostly a grill not a smoker
