Price / performance is top, results are super

First of all: we have the grill for a few days now in operation and he does so far a very good figure. The assembly was very easy with 2 people and not least by the German and very informative manual and succeed immediately. We have described the baked barbecue dannach as in the manual, but slightly longer than the 2 hours since we still played around a bit in how far the temperature can be regulated and how the grill reacts to corresponding changes. The very next day we planned the first use and placed Hänchenschenkel, while the Grill ca 4h kept at temperature which with a little taste for 1.5h worked cleanly. The temperature he keeps doing very consistent but he also reacts well to changes if, for example more heat needs (eg shortly before the opening of the lid). At the weekend we then ventured to Spare ribs, so the first major use - even here in changing weather conditions we were able to keep the temperature between 110-115 degrees 7h long. The temperature we measured here by means of digital radio thermometer, directly above the cooking area. We have previously charcoal briquettes used for heating (LIDL own brand, of charcoal), while we have followed the manufacturer's instructions and filled to heat up 2kg briquettes. This worked right away after 40 minutes were reached 115 degrees and we could regulate the temperature well using the Luftzufur. When adding we have a charcoal starter used by we can through the glowing briquettes previously, you need about every 40 minutes so a barbecue fully fuel for refueling to keep the temperature constant. When you consider the size of the grill and the low external temperature of 11-15 ° C is the consumption in order - even the barbecue briquettes have been now not the best. The grill does so what he should and is very good for Slow & Low BBQ despite the small wall thickness.

Hardware else is there to say that the build quality is good, though the welds in our model some "not so nice are" the only shortcoming (no reason for return to us) a star is but why deduction.
The lid thermometer is more suitable as usual at Smokern for estimating, it shows 148 ° C (300 ° F) to when the digital thermometer indicating 113 ° C on the cover. The Fahrenheit scale is on the cover thermometer better read as Celsius. Although it is not very precise Taugt the lid thermometer quite well for predicting the temperature on the grill because it reacts more quickly to temperature changes so that you should be looking reloading quickly at 290 ° F and fully open air damper :)
Conclusion: Great Smoker at a very good price / performance ratio.
