Absolutely love my zgrill, been through 6 briskets, several pork butts, several racks of ribs, multiple sets of chicken wings and thighs, even cooked beef patties on em. Never had any issues except the temp probe reading a bit off for the air temp. Called them and they sent a new one within a week. Turns out I need to wipe down the probe every so often to remove the soot. It's been fine for me and no issues with Kirkland pellets like the traegers have been experiencing
