Pros & Cons
Pros
Works well in gas bbq but be sure to remove part of grill and put it right on flavor bars to insure it smokes. Easy to use/ removable lid allows a nice amount of smoke & flavoring. Great for making smoked beef bacon.
It is very sturdy. Decent size, to hold a good amount of wood chips. Holds a decent amount of chips and works perfectly.
Cons
Have to run bbq up to 400 + before it starts smoking then i have to turn it way down to be able to cook slowly & smoke. When steak gets to 110 - 115 i take it off and put it on the sear burner for 1 1/2 min per side and a temp of 135.
Highlights
Quality
Good quality should last for a while.
Heavy, sturdy, can be tricky to clean (if you do that sort of thing).
I cut up a shopping cart and bent it to be a grill on legs, the whole thing fits into an upside down metal bucket with a hole in top.
Gets the job done, provides good amount of smoke when wood chips are soaked for 30-40 minutes beforehand.
Price
I'm happy with this product for its price.
Shipping
On time and proved to be as i expected.
Product came chipped in the corner from shipping.

Would be more ideal for charcoal to set right on the coals
