She took the buy it card from the display and it was waiting up front.

I saw something similar at Costco the other day. I think it was made by Trager, so it probably cost twice as much as yours.
 
Congrats and I'm in to see it put together in operation. It has an interesting feature to allow you to manually change the auger speed with the P-setting on the controller. Also looks to be double walled which is nice....
 
Well here it is.
Putting together.
I must say that all the pieces were well marked. I did find the section that was a PITA was putting the support and the bottom tray on the legs. They should have made it put the supports and tray on first then attach the legs. But oh well I got it.

And you will need some help cuz this is heavy.

Ok here I go.

Getting ready for the legs.
Assembly should have taken about an hour and half but right here my wife said
"Hey"
I need you to go uptown for me. So 2 hours later I got to continue.

Doing a burn in at 350* for an hour.
Normal temp swings that I ain't going to gripe about.

This must be the storage for the probes?
I taped the fuse there also.

Brisket I will get to on Friday.
 
One thing I will suggest is ditching the guard.

Pellets in the hopper tend to "tunnel" and it is a heck of a lot easier to be able to swish them around with your hand rather than trying to shove something down through the grid to readjust the pellets in the hopper.
