Just got in a #1 yesterday and love the quality and the apparent work that has gone into make this unit so useable. Upgraded from an end of season small gas smoker bought at Sam's Club end of season for $25. Have had to work really hard to get that unit to preform at an acceptable level and be consistent. I have my #1 seasoned and will be Smokin this afternoon. I built an outside kitchen on my deck and this purchase makes my kitchen ready for and open house.
