I bought this smoker to replace my old worn out one. I smoke ribs, brisket, pork butts, sausage and chicken at least twice a month. Three problems noted;
Lid sealing on firebox and smoke chamber, I will be adding a high temperature fiberglass seal around both doors.
Damper on firebox doesn't stay where you put it, wants to close completely, I need to add spring washers to bolt and double nut.
Handle for moving should have cotter pins to keep handle from popping out when moving smoker.
Overall quality is good, but not exceptional.
