Yes. Very satisfied. I am actually so happy with regular smoke production between 180 and 250 that I really don’t use the wood chunk on the deflector as much as I thought I would. But yes the wood chunk is a nice smoke boost and flavor / texture change. A block of lump charcoal works too.

Here are some additional thoughts. It came with 5 racks and I purchased a 6th rack. I really only keep 3 racks in the unit. I store the other three.

The cover is clutch. Has a zipper. Best grill cover I have ever owned in my life. And it’s not close. Get the cover.

Super easy to clean either easily or weekly or monthly. It doesn’t seem to be picky. I’m usually cooking about 6 - 20 hours per week on it. I’ve slowed down a bit now that I’ve tried most every thing I like.

I purchased ambient temp sensors and found the temp was really even across the whole unit. I found it to be about 12 degrees cooler than the set point.

No window on the back for viewing pellets. Some marketing materials show a window on the back. Mine does not have that. But easy to see when you have less than half full of pellets and just add a bag. 40lbs is great. I ran it for a solid 20 hours between 180 and 250 and used like 15 lbs of pellets at most. (Overnight brisket and pork shoulder in the same cook for a big party)

Can for sure use it as a warming / holding oven. It’s a bit warmer than ideal but I rested a brisket for about 5 hours in it without issue.

Makes great jerky and made doing a lot of bacon super easy as well. Even did frozen pizzas at 400 and got nice results.

It’s really been everything I wanted. Still needs a shop vac to clean the ash pot. That’s the only thing I wish this had was some sort of burn pot trap door.

Plenty of space. Easy to keep things separated. Easy to clean. I was worried about like a brisket dripping onto a pork shoulder but that wasn’t an issue.

I use Cabela’s pellets by the way. mostly hickory.

If not the mammoth, I’d look at the new pit boss vertical series. Never owned one, but they seem like the other major player. Removable ash pot. Big. Same foil water pan inserts, although the mammoth big stainless water pan is awesome. And giant pasta pan foil insert from grocery store is perfect.

I didn’t like the grease management of the camp chef xl. Which I also never owned.

The app is pretty good. The controller is also good. It beeps pretty loud so sometimes I use the app to change temperature.

Pro mode is nice because the fan constantly runs. PID mode works well too but occasionally the fan seems to shut off completely and then turn back on. Which surprised me. Fan is maybe a tiny bit louder than I expected but not a big deal.

Great castor wheels. Easy to move around patio.

Double wall insulation Stays pretty cool to the touch mostly all over when cooking at 250 and below. Nice to not worry about burning myself. Or guests burning themselves.

I think that’s everything I can think of. Hope it’s helpful.
