I bought this last year as I like the flavor only charcoal can provide. It maintains temperature very well. You can also reverse sear steaks on it as reaches 700 degrees very quickly. There is a larger version but I’ve smoked 2 large pork butts and 2 racks of ribs at once. Only downside is the Bluetooth connectivity drops to the app on occasion. Still by and large my favorite smoker/bbq I’ve ever owned.
