Quality

The construction is very sturdy and durable, it does not take up too much space, and is easy to use.

Ease of use, heavy duty, great results.

I have never used a smoker befor and had a restraunt quality result th every first time.

Everything i saw tells me this is a manufacturing issue and there is probably an entire mfg lot of the bowls that are flawed.

Price

Pros - it is inexpensive, not to hard to use and turns out some very good bbq.

I certainly don't want to knock the brinkman because it is a great value at $35.

Amazon has (had) it on sale for $209.

Pay the extra money and get this smoker.

The new one came in a few days.

I have used 3 of these to compete with some of the best bbq pit masters in the world, and won several awards.

But for backyard bbq, there is nothing better.
