Takes the flavor of food to a whole new level!!! Nice design &  wasn't too difficult to put together, took about 20 minutes Love the way the charcoal adds a great flavor to the meat.Even though this is a charcoal smoker, you still have ability to be able to put wood chips along with it too, which is great.You can use it as a grill, as a smoker, with charcoal, with wood chips, you can add apple cider to the water bowl for added flavor. We have cooked everything from burgers, fish and steaks to brisket on this smoker. the size is great for our smaller sized patio, and we love using it while entertaining our guests. It makes everything so much easier, that it's vertical and we can take it along to the beach, camping & outdoor parties, We foresee using it many summer weekends to come!
