I was so excited to receive this product and couldn't wait to try it out.  Very easy to assemble.  (Just the handles). And easy to use. As soon as I got this we used it. We made chicken and the wood smoked flavor was delicious.  Chicken was juicy not dried out. Cannot wait to try it on my brisket.  This product was very easy to use as far as using wood and the controls.  I highly recommend this product to any one who loves to cook.
