Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm very pleased with this unit and have been using it a great deal. So far I have smoked eight racks of beef ribs, two sirlion tip roasts, hot peppers, corn, and black tipped shark! I love my beef roasts rare and really appreciate how easy it is to get good results with the temp control and the internal meat probe this unit has. The remote control allows me to keep a close eye on things without being tied to the thing. A very nice feature. I feel that this was a good purchase and represents an excellent value. It will see a lot of use! ***I just wanted to add a quick edit*** here to address what some others have been saying about the remote control. While it is not obvious, you CAN get the temp reading for the inside of the smoker on the remote and it can be done in two ways: Either push the temp set button twice which will cause the readout to flash between the temp setting and the actual temperature inside the smoker for ten seconds or so. The other and best way is to press the meat probe button once which will cause the meat probe reading to be displayed and then smoker temp set and actual smoker temp reading to alternate on the remote display. It does not matter if you are actually using the meat probe for this to work. The issue of the window getting too dirty to see through is a bit over blown. I find it easy to clean with some warm water and mild dish soap. The grime softens as you repeat the task of wiping it down a few times. The same thing for the light. Hope these tips are helpful for everyone to fully enjoy this gem of a smoker. I love it more with each use.
