Very happy with this smoker! After a couple weeks of owning it and learning it I took it to a KCBS competition and placed in the top 10 only cooking on this smoker! Highly recommend also purchasing the 2nd temperature gauge separately. The "Oklahoma Joe" name plate on the smoker was broken upon arrival, and the "Oklahoma Joe" patch on the cover I bought separately was stitched on poorly and crooked. Seems to be some haphazard quality control, but otherwise I'm happy with the functionality of the products I purchased
