I got this for our family as a Christmas present. We've never had a smoker, and we all love the grill, so I figured it would be a fun foray into more backyard culinary madness. First, assembly took some time. There were a lot more parts than I anticipated, but not too bad - not quite IKEA level, but absolutely not stack the middle on the bottom, then add the top and go.Second, again, we've never had a smoker. If this is also you, I'd suggest starting with something that's a small financial and time investment! DO NOT do your Thanksgiving turkey as your first project if you're a newb like us.Third, while this does have a temperature gauge, we added a wireless gadget that goes inside for better results. While it wasn't off much from the gauge on the lid, there was some variance, so it was good to keep an eye on it. I'd say this is really similar to a grill in that aspect. It's close, but if you need precision, get the extra internal thermometer for best results.Finally, cooking space. When we first opened it, I thought there was no way we could get what we needed in there (we're not a small family). But after it was assembled and we got our test meals out of the way, we went for the big birds and the results were pleasantly surprising. We got the bird in there, with stuffing, and probably could have put more veggies up top, had we prepped them!While we don't have anything to compare it to, we really like this smoker. I do wish the arms could hold utensils or something, but they're just a fun visual add-on. The robot design is neat and we like the finished products so far. 4 out of 5 for price, overall functionality, ease of assembly, and all the things you can do with it.

Made a turkey for Thansgiving in this. The skin came out totally black. But, after peeling off the skin, the turkey itself was delicious. Nice and juicy. I look forward to trying other meals on this smoker. I definitely recommend.

This Spacebot Smoker Grill is a unique and eye-catching addition to my backyard cooking arsenal. The robot-inspired design is undeniably fun and adds a playful touch to the usual smoker aesthetic. However, while I love the overall look, there are some functional issues that detract from the experience.On the positive side, the grill's styling is fantastic. The robot-shaped body, complete with arms and a head, is sure to turn heads. The large wheels are a practical touch, making it easy to move the smoker around.Unfortunately, those robot arms are purely decorative. It would be great if they could be used to hold grilling tools or a tray of meat, but they aren't sturdy enough for that purpose.More concerning are the fit and finish issues. Smoke leaks from around the silver rectangles on the head, which impacts temperature control and smoking efficiency. Additionally, some parts are either too tight or too loose. The head, for instance, requires significant force to seat properly, while the air vents are loose and don't stay in place. Most frustratingly, the rivet holding the door latch is too loose, causing the door to pop open. I had to resort to a makeshift fix with aluminum foil to keep the door closed, and I plan to replace the rivet with a bolt for a more permanent solution.Overall, the Spacebot Smoker Grill is a mixed bag. While I adore the quirky design and appreciate the attention to detail in some aspects, the functional shortcomings are disappointing. With better quality control and some minor design tweaks, this could be a truly outstanding smoker. As it stands, it's a fun novelty with the potential for greatness, but it needs some refinement to reach its full potential.

This is my first smoker, and I really like it! I have only tried a pork recipe, and it came out a little dry, but that is my fault because I lost track of the time and temperature. Next time will be better.All the material used in this smoker is solid, well manufactured, and welded securely. There is zero smoke leak, providing for an efficient and uniform temperature.Assembly was a breeze, and the instructional video included in the listing is really all I needed to reference. All the screws worked well, and I was able to do it by hand versus using a drill.The smoker is stable and the wheel locks work really well. It does not wobble when on solid ground.I do like the arms, they're great for holding grilling tools with straps on the end. It also makes it more fun, like a little robot.The latches at the bottom and top make it secure when moving it, or while using it.The whole unit does get hot while smoking, so you have to keep it away from children and pets when in use, but all smokers will.I would highly recommend this smoker to anyone trying to get into smoking. Great efficient size, everything you need, portable, and fun. I do also recommend grabbing a cover if it will be sitting in the elements.

really wanted to like this as i didn't have a smoker and wanted to start smoking meat on a regular basis. the assembly of the grill was fairly easy however one of the arms screws were stripped out so it isnt secure on the body of the smoker it flops around, this isn't a deal break as the arms on the smoker are utterly useless they are to small to hold a beverage and lack the rights supports to do so, they are also not designed to hold the lid or anything else they are just pure useless. the grates, lid and body are nice though and after starting my charcoal and throwing some pecan wood on top top get some smoke i added the water dish and the top grate and smoked up 2 pounds of chicken which turned out really nice . The smoker works good and i will definitely use it again however i will probably take the arms off it as they serve no purpose, on another note the wheels on it are really nice and they all lock which is a big plus and the door to add wood and charcoal is built well and the latch holds good, i will also get a cover for it to keep the weather off it when not in use.
