It works pretty well to cook food but it just feels cheap. There wasn’t really much assembly needed it’s very small and barely fits a rack of ribs. The value is pretty much what you pay for. What I have cooked on here so far hasn’t had the smoke flavor I’m looking for. Not sure why but that could be the pellets I’m using.

my new pellet grill is absolutely amazing! That crisp LCD screen displays the temperature and the meat's status so clearly, making operation a breeze.What I love the most is its precise temperature control. It's like having a smart little butler inside. I just set the temperature and can freely go about preparing ingredients or chatting with friends, knowing that it automatically adjusts the pellets to maintain the perfect heat. This "set it and forget it" feeling is just fantastic!Plus, the grill has plenty of space, handling big hunks of meat and all sorts of spices, sauces, and sides with ease. I can unleash my creativity and experiment with different grilling techniques, always ending up with delicious surprises.In short, this pellet grill has become an indispensable tool for my outdoor barbecues. If you're looking to make your grilling more enjoyable and effortless, I sincerely recommend giving this grill a try. It's guaranteed to elevate your grilling skills to new heights!

Functions are very complete, skewer roast can be braised, some convenient small functions: open the door to add charcoal, partition temperature control, really make this large oven more convenient to use, very good functional design.

Many other smokers in the portable class. This was a Christmas purchase and could not pass up the price. The smoker came out of the box not damaged and was relatively easy to assemble. As other have reported some of the final quality is just not there. The lid was loose and not square with the base. The stainless frame near the hopper was not installed correctly so it not sitting right. It’s also riveted in, making it just a little more difficult to fix. As reported by others, I was able to adjust the hinges to get the lid to be lined up with the base. With that, none of these quality issues have affected the smoker operation. I smoked a 2 rib Prime Rib Roast in it and it cooked perfectly. It was easy to get the smoker up and running and up to temp. Smoked at 300F and it took about 2.5 hours. The temp held around 300 the entire time. This was with 20-25f weather in NW New Jersey. I used the included meat probe and the temp reading was accurate. For the price, it is well worth it. I’m only giving it a 4 because of the quality issues.

I was considering the Traeger Ranger Portable because my friends use Traeger smokers, and it was the first one I was exposed to. I figured, why not stick with what I know? I’ve heard more positives than negatives about Traeger, but the biggest downside was the price—it runs about $550.When searching on Amazon for portable smokers, I found quite a few options. After reading reviews, I narrowed it down to the Traeger Ranger and the Hello Dr. smoker.Here’s the breakdown:• Traeger Ranger: Comes with a cast iron skillet and grill grate.• Hello Dr.: Doesn’t include a cast iron skillet but offers similar smoker space and functionality.• Both: Require 110V power.Ultimately, price was the deciding factor. The Hello Dr. was half the price of the Traeger and still had all the same capabilities (minus the skillet).After Purchase:Setting up the Hello Dr. smoker was simple. Initially, the temperature was a bit erratic, but I had manually scooped in more pellets than normal. After about 15 minutes, the temperature stabilized and held steady at the set point.Cons:• There’s a constant low sound—it’s not annoying, but noticeable (like a "wha wha wha").• The fan kicks on occasionally, and it’s a bit loud.• The build quality seems excellent quality [except the fan] and everything else is comparable to the Traeger Ranger, but at half the price.Final Thoughts:I’m very happy with this purchase. The Hello Dr. doesn’t pour out smoke like some other smokers I have seen, and it provides steady heat and works great. I also love the look—I chose the model with the separate red heat shield because it stands out.At half the price of the Traeger Ranger, it’s a solid choice for anyone looking for a budget-friendly portable smoker that gets the job done.

Worked great first time but has not produced smoke since then. Followed all directions for troubleshooting. All parts work but no smoke. Only way to reach company is by email. No help at all! Unit has 1 year warranty but no info where to send for repair or replacement.
