The instructions to put together are awful however there are many videos on YouTube that you can get bits and pieces from to figure it out. Also it’s not a quick set up 1000% need the teflon tape for every connection. After about 1 1/2 hours of putting it to together and stopping any leaks and doing cleaning run your gunna want to start your run because everytime you use it you will have to go through the same process. Set aside 12 hours no less. NOW all and all when you start moving and grooving it’s a good set up-insulated well so holds temp and easy to use on stove top. The thumper is great to add some flavor.
