For the longest time, I have always wanted a smoker and pizza oven. I had a regular charcol grill, but couldn't gauge the temperature well. This takes all the guesswork out of everything. I now don't have to buy six different items because it's all in one. It is a bit heavy (at least it was for me), so I would invest in getting the stand for this as well. The functions and setup was easy. I have never been happier.
