This is the perfect smoker for a family.  We smoked an 8lb brisket with better than expected results.  I was skeptical at first but the appliance worked great.  The brisket was cut into 3 pieces to fit in the racks.  We did leave it longer than recommended but it still came out very tender with a good crust and best of all...smokey.  Next time I will use the temperature probe instead.  We did not have any lingering smoke odor in the house, just the smell of the brisket slow cooking.  Controls were intuitive and easy to use.    Awesome little appliance to get that smoked taste without the outdoor hassle.   The SmartHQ App kept hanging up at the legal terms so wasn't used but we were able to use the appliance just fine without it.
