I've had my bronco 7 months now and smoked something almost every weekend.  Boston butts, corned beef brisket, pork belly burnt ends, Chuck roast, and countless racks of baby back and St. Louis  style ribs. Love it! I'd recommend this as a starter smoker for anybody that asks. Ease of use, ease of cleanup, easy and consistent temp control, it's great. Just to nitpick, the temp gauge on mine is 50 - 75 degrees low but I use a probe anyway so no problem.
