Bought the smoker a month ago and have smoked three times in it. I knew before purchasing I dided need to install the gasket and latches (sold separately). My only issue is that the paint on the offset blistered and peeled the first time using. The instructions say to use high temp pain to touch up, which makes me believe they know it's an issue and aren't taking steps to fix. Other than that, the smoker works great and I like I can use whole logs to smoke.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this 6 months ago and love it! It makes great pulled pork and brisket. I sealed the cook and fire chambers and have constant temps across the entire cook chamber. It’s not “set and forget” like my drum smokers; this requires attention for the entire cook to manage the fire, but the results are worth the effort. Recommend getting the blanket if you plan to smoke in the winter months.

I ordered mine 4-5 months ago. Got lucky and it was on sale and shipping was free. Have used it several times smoking brisket, prime rib, pork butt, chuck roast, turkey, chicken, beef and pork ribs. My learning curve has been pretty short. Every thing cooked was great. It’s best to “baby sit” while cooking but I enjoy that. I did get the fire too hot while seasoning and some paint on the fire box bubbled a little but it was easy to touch up. I’d highly recommend!

This is a great smoker and got its first cook at a competition. We took 3rd in Ribs and 4th in Brisket. It held the temperature great even when the overnight temp dropped to the lower 30's! Even temp across the grill with almost enough space for 2 packer briskets (15lb each) and 4 racks spare ribs cut to St. Louis style.

I plan to buy this smoker because I used a commercial reverse flow in a restaurant for BBQ.

So as per all the othe reviews, the paint comes right off the smoke box on the first smoke. It was expected so I was not surprised. I did, when I put it together seal the box to the main body with high temp silicone. I was worried that it wouldn't be sealed enough. I also sealed the box (since it comes into 2 peices) with the same silicone. The sealant worked beautifully. I like that when yes you get the reverse smoke that they also give you the option to change it back and forth to reverse and regular. I do think that you should purchase another temp probe for the other side. As to be sure your smoker is evenly heated. Mine is about a 10 to 15 degree difference. I also put high heat gaskets on the smoker and smoker box lids. They worked wonderfully only letting out minimal smoke. Although the smoker box gaskets melted off. I will have to research more on which ones I can that would be better suited. With the modifications, I am very happy with the unit. Can't wait to have the time to use it more often.

Just what I expected and got. It is smaller which works well for the amount of food I cook at one time and fits in to my smaller footprint. Reverse flow is what I had decided on after a lot of research.
