Just bought a 3D wifi version. Package was supposed to arrive last Monday but surprised me last Saturday 
and I did the seasoning smoke that evening. Got busy with work and family events and could not get to a real smoke until today. I have read the LazyQ book and lots of postings. Decided on a Boston butt and am trying Jeff's Texas style rub on it since I like a little spice. Was out late last night and had some early errands so I did not get started until late this morning. I couldn't stand to wait another day so I just got started. For some reason I had 1.5 hrs per pound stuck in my head even though there are many places that say up to 2 hrs per pound. So here I am at 2:20am waiting on it to finish. Live and learn. I will definitely overestimate cooking time on the next smoke, but like I said, I couldn't bear waiting another day.
Pleased with the build quality so far. Only problem has been getting the wifi app to connect. I have not asked for help and have not tried any real troubleshooting yet. I opted to spend my time getting started smoking using the manual programming of the controller and will figure out the wifi later.
My only experience smoking has been burning a few chips in my 20 year old Weber grill and helping some men at church on a fundraiser smoke. This is going to be fun.
