Can be a good value if you get a properly configured unit, but the reported unit-to-unit quality-control inconsistency means a risk-averse first-time buyer may prefer a model with a more consistent track record.

Pros

  • Newer owners report improved performance compared to earlier complaint patterns
  • Large cooking capacity for the price
  • Good value when bought at Costco pricing
  • Loads of cooking room — 1014 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Quality control appears inconsistent between individual units
  • Fire-safety concerns reported by a subset of owners
  • Black smoke/creosote taste issue reported by multiple owners
  • No app control at this price

Known niggles

  • Fire reported reaching the pellet box on at least one unit's first use
  • Black smoke reported by multiple owners, affecting the taste of food
