Iove the smoker. It’s a great value compared to other Kamado style grills. Be aware that the top dome vent gets gummed up and the paint will start flaking off after the first use. If you’re like me and try to keep things looking perfect then be warned, you need to get over it. Between the crummy looking vent and the side trays that  are bubbling it really looks much older then it is. But it functions perfectly and I expect it to do so for some time. 

The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars….i thought the 18” size would be big enough. It really isn’t. Two years of ownership and I’m already running into size limitations. I wish I had spring for the big Joe from day one. Do yourself a favor, if your on the fence just get the big Joe.
