Very fast shipping exactly what was ordered. Have not used it yet.

The smoker arrived near the front end of the delivery window, which was nice. The packaging was excellent so no parts were damaged in transit. The assembly instructions were for the most part very good. Although, it was obvious they were written by someone not familiar with American English. I assembled it by myself in a couple of hours.The initial burn in instructions were well written and the smoker performed as expected. Once setup was complete I used it to smoke two beef chuck roasts. The smoker held temperature very well, seldom varying from what it was set at. When I was done, the shutdown took about 10 minutes. Cleanup was easy. Even with about a nine hour cook, there was minimal ash.From a quality perspective everything looked well done. All of sheet metal edges were rounded and powder coated. The parts were well labeled and everything fit together without any juggling.So far, I am very happy with the whole journey. The smoker is performing as expected.

The grill tends to fluctuate temperature up and down 30+- but outside of that, I've been very happy with the purchase so far.

I've been considering buying a pellet smoker for a long time but didn't like Traeger's prices. I have a Weber Summit four burner grill that is built like a tank and it was less expensive. After reading too many reviews, I went with the ZGrill 7002c2e. It was around $150 cheaper than the comparable Traeger.Assembly: I don't care what other reviews claim, for most people this will be a two hour job and for certain part, will require two people. I'm pretty good at putting things together, have all the tools you'd want, and it still took me a little over two hours. Part of the problem was that the instructions are poor, particularly for attaching the legs to the smoker. Further, the screws are of generally poor quality. That means that if you are using an electric driver, make sure you set the torque at the lowest setting or you will strip the screw.That brings up a pet peeve. Screws are stupid cheap. Especially standard machine screws. Provide a half dozen extra so that if a screw is stripped, you can pull it out and use one of the extras.Once put together, the smoker works as advertised. So far, I've smoked a chicken (came out amazing) and a salmon fillet (maybe the best salmon I have ever eaten. Use a dijon mustard binder for a bit of salt, pepper, and brown sugar...yum). I'll update this review shortly since I'm making baby back ribs this weekend.Bottom line is that it works really well and for the price, you really can't go wrong.Update: I've had this smoker for a couple of months now and it has truly delivered. Baby back ribs, pork butt, multiple chickens, salmon several times, and yesterday for Thanksgiving, a stuffed turkey. Other than to finish off the ribs at high heat, I haven't used my grill since getting this smoker. Yeah, I'd still use my Weber for hamburgers, hotdogs, and the like, but this smoker is the bomb. Six hours on the smoker yesterday at 300 degrees and the turkey came out juicy with great smoked flavor. The probes are also accurate and come within one degree of my instant read thermometer. To be honest, other than the web app, I can't imagine what a Traeger can do better, especially at this price.

If your looking for a pellet grill with a cheaper price and still smokes like a champ the 6002b is perfect. Gets up to max temperature in under 15 mins. Plenty of room for a rack of ribs 6 chicken large chicken breasts alone on the hot rack and same space on the warming rack. Makes the best tasting burgers on regular grill mode with that wood fire. Deffinatly worth the buy. Oh and for those of you who were like me and worried about sturdyness and thickness of the metal on grill. Rest assured its heavy duty metal.
