I absolutely love it. What sold me on this cooker is the flavor it produces. I wasn’t in the market for a smoker but when I tried the food I had to have one. With being able to add a split of wood every 30-45minutes it truly tastes like you are eating off a stick burner. Using the FireBoard for fire management it really doesn’t get any easier. And if you want to you can burn straight wood on it. In my opinion it really is the most versatile smoker on the market. For a backyard guy it might be a lot to spend but it’s worth every penny and will last forever. If I was still competing I would not hesitate to use this cooker 100%. If you have any specific questions let me know.
