I got this as my first ever pellet smoker and I have to say that for the money, it’s an excellent choice. I’ve used it every day for the first week and a half and so far have made steaks, pork chops, ribs, wings, cornish hens... all came out delicious, especially the steaks! I’m still a newb when it comes to smoking but am enjoying the learning proccess! I really like that you just set the temperature, use some meat probes I got seperately and wait till my food comes up to temp. Perfect results every time!
