The only good think about this smoker is the price, and even then it's not worth it. Whoever designed it didn't give any thought to assembling it. There are several tough spots to put together that could have easily been engineered better. One of the worst is the legs. Make sure you have a stubby Philip's head screw driver to get those screws tight. The smoker door is also bad. I had to make some serious changes to get it to close properly.

Despite all that, I still had hope it would function well. NOT! It's impossible to maintain a steady temperature, even plus of minus 5 degrees. And when the pan runs out of water the temp spikes quickly by 50 to 75 degrees. Even at medium heat, that means refilling the pan about every 40 minutes. And be careful not to put the flame out by spilling water when you slide the pan back in! I tried adding water to my foil drip pan at the bottom but that didn't help.

Bottom line, this unit will be at the curb as soon as it cools off.
