Just ordered mine for $900 thanks to the employee discount at my work, can’t wait to try it out

When you measured between the upper and lower rack. I don't think the bottom rack is in the lowest position available...love the vid!

[andywillis]

Great review thank you. Picking mine up today 🎉Looking forward to lots of cooking.

Great review, my next purchase is going to be the front shelf for my 885, I wholeheartedly agree with you when you said it should have come standard on the unit. But all and all I love my 885

[DadGummitMan]

Great review!
You answered my question about cold weather cooks😎! Love the info!
Merry Christmas to you and your family big bro!

You can move the bottom grate down to get more clearance. Note that it then will be closer to the heat.

how much space is there if you run the lower rack all the way down? It has two positions.

[jonslyh]

I read somewhere that the front shelf addition is useless because of the material made. All the items slide off that you put on there. Do you find that to be true?

[GeneralRock]

How many external probes can you insert through the port???

[numberoco]

On a 1-10 scale, a great offset is a 10. Where does this pellet grill/smoker land? Is this something that can be used to make a good smoked brisket or rack of ribs?

[mapledoodle]

Hey there. Thanks so much for this review. I noticed you did a review on the Timberline several months ago. Do you believe the extra insulation in the Timberline helps colder weather cooks substantially more compared to the Ironwood? Again, thanks so much for the details and I hope to hear from you.

The lower rack has 2 settings, you showed the higher set.

[briansimon]

Does anyone know what the height of this unit is with out the legs installed?

[knnydust]

does your 885 have leak issues from your lid?

[noreaction]

How do you catch the grease off your cooks? How do you clean it

[ZOMBIEDUST]

Do you find you get a lot of smoke out the grease trap? I also do not get a lot of smoke out of mine. I was wanting more smoke but not the case

[philipsmith]

Great smoker but I am also looking at Rec Tecs . I dislike pocelain grill gtates . Also does anyone know if REC TECs have the extra smoke function ? I can’t find that info ?

[potatopenguin]

How do you empty the hopper to switch pellet types?

[Ahw]

I put it together by myself. But I was straining pretty damn hard when setting it down and picking it up. This grill is heavy as fuck. It's not fun to move up or down stairs if you assembled in your garage, than moved to your deck like me. But I have been lifting weights a long time, not trying to brag but I'm a pretty big guy and this grill is akwardly heavy to maneuver on your own. I probably wouldn't do it solo again unless I had to. I was just too dang excited to start it up wasn't going to wait for my brother to come over.

We need names who has grease management problems?
