Looks like a successful delivery.

No forklift tine holes in the box? That’s a good sign. Have fun putting it together.

Wow, Impressed with how nice a unit that is. Mine didn't come with any mounting pads for the horns but Recteq is sending them out. Also, I would have that a gasket would go between the stack and the grill? I have some material that I can make one.

If you are concerned about keeping it as clean as possible, I would seal between the smoke stack and the grill, and also the lid and the grill. And if you do it when it's new, you will have better results. I did mine as soon as I got it, and it works really well.

I have lavalock that Im putting on the lid today before I do my initial burn in, so I guess the stack will be included in the process.

I’m jealous. I remember when I got mine. How excited I was. You’re gonna love it. Had mine for over a year now. It’s awesome.

If you have leftover Lavalock, treat yourself to sealing the hopper lid as well. Once you experience the "soft close" of the pit lid, the clanging lid to the hopper is obnoxious. In all seriousness, it also adds a layer of protection for unforeseen precipitation getting into your hopper and creating the dreaded wet pellet auger jam.

If you do go ahead and Lavalock the hopper lid, pay attention to the lid dimensions vs the hopper dimensions. IIRC, my 700's hopper lid is longer/deeper (front to back) than what the hopper is. In other words, the front of the lid overhangs the front of the hopper by about 1/2 an inch when closed.

So, when applying the Lavalock tape to the inside of the hopper lid, offset the tape accordingly.

Put on at 11 last night at 200. At 154 as of 10 this morning. Looks like it will be tasty!
