Quality


Easy to use and holds a steady temperature


Easy to assemble, it takes a little bit to dial in your desired temperature but once you do it works great.


It takes 10 minutes to put the legs on and 2 hours too burn the factory smell off then you can start cooking .


Cracking the door keeps the meat down at 200 degrees.

Price


It’s a lot of money to spend on something that looks all janky now.


This is a nice unit for the price.


Buy some inexpensive meats and give it a whirl.

Shipping


I was smoking meats same day as delivery.


I received it day before thanksgiving, turkey was prepped and ready for smoke.


I was on the fence about getting this smoker, especially after reading several reviews about damage in shipping.

Packaging/appearance


Be aware that the last issue others have touched on is that the packaging is not that great i.


The box is big but everything was well packed, requires some easy assembly.

Competitiveness


The smoker seems very high quality compared to the masterbuilt smokers i have seen.
