Super excited about this smoker right out of the box. Assembly wasn't the easiest, but just keep in mind that it'll be worth it in the end. I love that this is a vertical smoker, as even though it's pretty big it definitely takes up less space than it would if it were wider.

Heat control and heat retention are 2 of my favorite parts of this smoker, it makes it easy to have perfectly smoked meat results.. ahh the brisket I smoked last weekend was just unbelievably good. 

We'll probably use this every weekend until winter.
