Nice upgrade from my 35yr old Brinkman that smoked hundreds of hams, ribs, turkey and pastrami. This unit design has vents and better quality components and so far after the seasoning in for 2hrs prior to smoking, gave it a test run and the sausages came out great. Arrived within 24hrs and I liked the packaging with bubble packed nuts and bolts, lettered for easy assembly. (1/2 hr) I know the paint will discolor but that's a badge of honor for a smoker, shows that it's done some work! My first wayfair purchase and very happy with it.
