I assembled this beast yesterday. Upgrade from my older starter Camp Chef. Took about 3.5 hours including unboxing and all of the packaging cleanup. Initial burn in complete and ready to smoke. Thought I'd get a picture while it's still fresh looking.

Assembly is easy for the most part. Other than the dolly to help move boxes around I didn't have any assistance and didn't have any issues. Two gripes: 1. The hardware bags are nicely labeled with a number to match the assembly instructions, but after step 8 the numbers on the bags no longer matched the instruction steps which was a bit confusing at first. 2. There is a small dent on the side that looks like it was there before packaging and shipping. It shouldn't effect the functionality so I'm not too concerned.

    Can you give an update when you use that smokebox? I’m curious on it. If you use wood chunks or briquettes to add some decent flavor. Congrats on the new toy🍻🍻

    I am thinking of getting one of these
    I currently have a Yoder and a Weber
    I run the Weber off a large propane tank that also runs my stove… will the sidekick work with this?
