I got one about 2 months ago (Broil King Regal Pellet 500) and it's an absolute tank. I think it has basically all the physical features of the Traeger Timberline but at Ironwood prices. I've cooked all the basic meats on it so far and it's worked amazingly.
However, I will say that the temperature control at the low end is really poor - Realistically the lowest it'll go is 225F which is fine for most smoking, while the Traeger goes down to 180 or so. The Broil King app is also very rudimentary - I've used it mainly as a remote which works fine but that's it.
