I have to say, I’ve been disappointed with this product. It seems well made but TBH I got an error message about half the time halfway through a smoke. “Err2” if the wood chunks in the smoke box ignite (and yes you are supposed to use chunks not pellets for this model). The main point of this smoker is to smoke, but if every time you try and smoke you get an error it’s not much good. I really wanted to like this product but ultimately I don’t feel l could trust it with an expensive brisket or similar.
