I bought this kamodo 2 months ago and have used it constantly since then. It is so efficient that I just finished up my first 20lb bag of lump charcoal. We have smoked whole chickens, chuck roasts, wings, brisket and grilled steaks, burgers and chicken breast hot and fast. This thing does it all and does it easy. Set your temps, throw the brisket on the kamodo and go to bed, it will do the rest! Get another set of hands to help you assemble it and it will make your life a little more stress free.
