I used to have this same smoker. I’ll just say it performed horribly. The firebox is too small and the draft is not good at all. I was finally able to sell it at a loss. Best of luck but it wasn’t for me. My advice is to only invest this much money in proven products from well established pit welders. SLE in Nashville specializes in farm and heavy duty lawn equipment.

It is definitely a great smoker. I was able to fit 4 slabs of spare ribs on it. One thing I noticed is it seems the heat comes from the bottom more than going over the top, but it still cooks very good.
