The unit looks and smells great. The temperature control does not work for cold spaces (my uninsulated 'cigar shack' outside gets too cold at night for the heater in this unit to keep up (and I knew this before purchase, but decided to give it a try)... Now, in a room with ambient 68 degrees temperature, when I set the temperature on the unit to 70, it doesn't reach 70 (just 68-69). So, I suspect the accuracy of the temperature setting isn't very accurate. Also, a fan is on all the time- never stops... We'll see if it drives me nuts. Seasoning is currently in process and I expect things to work well once the sticks go in the box.
