I bought this smoker this year. The smoker is great although the door does not completely shut so it lets some of the smoke and heat out but nothing a blanket wont fix. But one thing i hate is the cover. I bought the cover for $40 and if there is a small wind it blows off. It needs to b more sturdy and heavy duty. I wish i would have never wasted my money on the cover. The cover almost made me return the smoker but my ribs turned out too good so i now have 2 ten foot 2 x 4 holding the horrible cover down
