We’ve had ours for 4 years now. The Bronco Drum hands down produces the best flavor. It is more hands on, but worth it if you can get it figured out. You must maintain a constant temp with the airflow. This is not for the person that wants to walk away from it all day. The max smoke time is about 6 hours before having to re-ignite, but once you figure out a couple of hacks this doesn’t matter.
