I had thought I had introduced myself but don't see it on here, so here we go. I'm Alan, I live in North bend Washington. I'm an Avid hunter and love good BBQ. Been smoking about 4 years. Currently have a masterbuilt and a WSM. The masterbuilt electric died and I wanted a solid electric smoker that will last. So I made my decision to get the 3d. Looking forward to some great BBQ. Thanks, Alan
