Downsized from a bigger Masterbilt so not a novice. Went together easily and fired up as it should. Calibrated the analog thermostat and it was right on point. Went through the initial cure and ready to smoke some tastiness!!! Note… calibrate the gauge so you can be certain of the temp. Use boiling water… constant is 212 degrees. Close the vents a bit to hit 300 degrees. Chip drawer is hard with lid on… take it off or modify it. Enjoy!!!!

Update   worked great the first time, but would not fire up the next time. The box was damaged so maybe that was the problem. Wayfair was outstanding! Sent out new one right away without the hassles of returning broken unit! Made sure this one fired up by testing several times right away. Works great with no issues! Thank you Wayfair!!
