I have recently purchased this smoker. This is a very nice smoker. Very easy to assemble. A lot of cooking space. I have been able to control tempature well with it. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because the thermometer did not work and one of door hinges broke during assembly. I replaced thermometer and wire welded hinge back on as I did not want to wait to send back and recieve a replacement. I would recommend this smoker to a friend.
