Won't be able to do glitchy 's review justice, but just wanted to add some of my own observations and experience. Arrived yesterday morning, and I kept sneaking out to the garage as time allowed to piece a few things together here and there before I'd have to head back in to take a work call or do something else. Assembly wasn't too bad. Two people recommended but can be done by one. The only instance where an extra set of hands would have been helpful was when you're standing the grill up for the first time, and then right after that attaching the ash/grease drawer onto the bottom of the pit (from the front and the back both) once you've got it standing up.
Finished putting her together and got her updated and fired up for the first time around 1630. Was 33 and moderately windy outside, but was happy to see her go from off to 400° in about 10 minutes. Another 5 minutes after that she was at 500° (15 min total), but then I was an idiot and opened the lid to get some pictures and she dropped 50° so I didn't get a full time of 0-600. Once she was firing at max temp I realized I should probably run to the store and throw something on (delivery caught me by surprise the day before and since it arrived early in the day I didn't have time to prep anything). Grabbed a few ribeyes for the family and seasoned those up real quick while the seasoning on the grill was finishing up.
The meat was a quick buy and they weren't thick cut by any means so I just torched them at 600° for a total of 3-4 mins on each side (rotating and flipping often). Everyone was pleased with the result.
Losing daylight by the end so I didn't get as many pictures later on, but here's the timeline of my day:
