Needed a product that could hold a good sized turkey or a few trays of smoked salmon and deliver a cos instant smoke.  The assembly was slightly more challenging than a children's toy but overall the directions were clear and helpful.  The propane helped start the wood chips easily and I was able to control the amount of smoke delivered to my product. The adjustable shelves helped me really hone in the amount of flavor directed to the products.  The heavy duty frame and door and temperature gauge were perfect and helpful in ensuring the best product. I would highly recommend this smoker to any serious food smoker.
