This is a fantastic "set it and forget it" smoker, mostly.  On a calm average day it holds temperature well.  On a windy day, it needs to be behind some sort of windbreak.  I assume this is due to its relatively thin skin and little insulation.

The unit develops good smoke, not great smoke, yet.  I am still working through the nuance of how much, or little, and how often, or not to fill the smoke pan.  I can say that when it was cooler and windy it smoked better.  I attribute this to the fact that the burner had to run hotter to keep up, thus keeping the wood chips better lit.

The smoker has produced quality with only minimal effort, which is why I got it.  As mentioned, on an average day or when well shielded from wind, it is fairly straightforward and holds temp well.
