I bought this not knowing if my family would like smoked food. Turns out we do! I have smoked a lot of food since getting this and a whole tenderloin has been our favorite so far. Because the heat source is on one side from left to right there is a temperature difference however with the beef tenderloin one side being thicker than the other it actually cooked evenly.  I would really recommend getting to know the P setting in wisconsin being 30 degrees I had P6 set at 200 and still over filled pellets but at P2 and 300 kept good temp in same weather.
