I have owned this smoker for about a year now. I must say I was less than impressed when I received it. It seemed a lot flimsier(sp) than I had thought it woud be. The legs are very weak, and one needs to be careful when moving the smoker around. I fired it up for the first time to burn off all of the grease, and other things that would ruin your first smoking attempt. First of all use a lighter to start the smoker. If you use the igniter provided you will blow yourself up.

The smoker is single wall constructruction, so the wind affects it significantly. If it is cool out, and windy it is hard to keep the temperature steady. I solved this problem by buiding a shed onto the side of my shop, for the smoker. I also converted it to natural gas, as it consumed a great deal of propane. The control knob is not indexed properly, so what it says is wrong as far as the settings are concerned. You need to look at the flame to actually see where it is set.

Now that it is on Natural gas it has been a good smoker. I cook about every weekend for others. I do mostly pork sholders, and ribs. I put 6 to 8 pork sholders in at a time. I load up the wood box only once during the whole process. It actually only produces smoke from the wood for about 2 hrs. I leave it this way for 8 hrs. I then remove the meat, and wrap each sholder in foil. It then returns to the smoker for another 4 hours. It always comes out where it is juicy, and just falls apart. The whole time I try to maintain a temp. of 200 deg. I never put water in the pan. This helps it develop a bark on the meat. As the juices drip into the pan they develop a very good smoke. Also put something under the smoker to catch the grease. It will make a mess if you don't.

Bottom line is you can find a better smoker for the money. If you already have one you can make it work just fine.
