Smoker was delivered with slight damage to the box but it didn't appear to damage the unit itself.  The smoker went together great, very well built and the instructions were very easy to follow.  That's rare these days.  Im in the process of smoking for the first time now now and it doesn't seal as well as I'd hope, even with the gasket on it. Even with that there is plenty of heat.  I'd definitely recommend it though.
