That is a nice looking system. the pellet hopper fill was nice. That control pad was amazing.
 
At 7K+, it better come with a lifetime supply of brisket, and pork butts!

AMEN BROTHER! That is not far off TWO Memphis Elites! The Twin Eagle is beautiful and 140 to 725 is nice, but 7K nice?...JJ
 
I have some experience with Twin Eagles. I purchased their 42" gas grill back in 2010. 9 years later it's still looking good and works, however, despite the use of good 304 stainless they still have parts that fail requiring replacement. Unfortunately they are VERY proud of their parts. Ex) The built-in hood therm failed and the replacement was $70 + shipping! The ceramic briquette trays (aluminum-why?) get eaten through after many cooks over 5-6 years using marinades etc. The rubber lid bumper that turns off the interior lights when the lid is closed deteriorated leaving the light constantly on. The glow igniter bracket covers deteriorate over time. The built-in blue LED harness failed (very difficult to get to in order to replace) and the harness to the interior hood lights also failed (again very difficult to get to). Noticed this year the internal door hinges are starting to rust (obviously these are 304). BTW: you cannot buy grills direct from them, you have to go through a dealer as well for service. For a $7k plus grill I expected these items to still be functioning. It does appear their new models might have seen some engineering improvements, so maybe things are better. Given my experience, Twin Eagles would not be my first choice for a pellet grill, price withstanding.
