Best appliance ever! This was my Mother's Day present to myself. Ever since I've received this, I've used this weekly if not multiple times a week. I've made chicken quarters, wings, ribs, brisket, jerky, and even a chuck roast. Once you've had smoked potatoes with onions and peppers you'll be hooked! I've even smoked macaroni and cheese and boiled eggs to make an egg salad. 

My only negative is the internal thermometer. It's awkward to use and the flexibility is limited. I have a digital thermometer with four probes that are on a thin wire that I use instead. I'm able to close the door properly just like with my oven. 

Best money I ever spent! My husband's not complaining.
