Totally inexperienced smoker and my first ever purchase. I installed every accessory to it other than the leg and wheel kit and followed the instructions to the T. Everything fit and worked perfectly. So far we have smoked two pork shoulders, a rotisserie chicken and eight pounds of wings. Not so much as a hiccup. I like the fact that a chunk of wood in the burner lasts around four hours. Even the app has worked relatively well, although the range is quite limited. All in all I have been pleasantly surprised with the performance and my results. I attribute this to the quality of the smoker and Johns easy to follow Dadgum recipes!
