In every case i could achieve at least 200f and a top temperature of 325f with the position of the thermometer being the biggest variable

After 15 min on high i had to dial it back to 25 to hold 230f as indicated on my thermometer centered on the top rack on a 60f day

I spent about 4 hours experimenting with the unit before ever attempting the first piece of meat

This setup lasted about 2 hours before the smoke died off with the gas valve at 25 to hold my cooking temp

In the stock configuration it performs as advertised you just have to read between the lines when it comes to the actual setup come grilling time

If you want to trust the door thermometer remember it is out of the heat flow path so it will read a lot lower than the center o the unit where the work is really happening
