Tried to get a newer smoker and while I do realize that if your really into smoking, then it's going to cost you more than a hundred or two dollars. The product was new and that's about the only good I can say about it. The components are thinner and not so thick and sturdy (thick to help retain heat). Way too much air flow all around the top of the lid when you close it. The rack falls down onto the main grill way to easily. Very disappointed. Do not recommend this for smoking or really even normal grilling as there are much better options out there.
