" ...  After burning it in, I ordered a heat gasket designed for smokers and applied it to the seal of the lid and the seal of the door, it took less than five minutes and cost about $12 on amazon, it sealed everything perfectly.  ...  "

" ...  The smoker seems very nice, but we won't know until he opens it and puts it together. ... The smoker itself is made of quality parts. ... Seems very heavy/sturdy.  ...  "

" ...  I did order this one during a Gold Box deal so I snagged this one on the low end. ... -Assembly - I was able to assemble the whole thing in about 15 minutes, the most difficult part probably being the legs ... Also, one of the catches for the bottom latches isn't straight so it sometimes takes me a few tries to secure the bottom ... I also applied to two additional areas: Under the lid where it mates to the rim of the middle section and to the edge of the underside of the top vent that sits directly on the lid. ... -The built in thermometer shouldn't be trusted, but this is true for pretty much all bi-metal thermometers  ...  "

" ...  For the price, you really can't beat it. ... So for under $200 I have a solid smoker that, to me, rivals the WSM which is $300.  ...  "

" ...  -Relatively Inexpensive - If you look at the competition, you're going to see a vast range of prices ranging from about $80 to upwards of $400. ... Yes, I had to put a little bit of work into it with some additional cost, but even with all of that, I'm still well below the monetary cost of the competition.  ...  "

" ...  All the pieces fit poorly, and many are crudely finished. ... Several of the rivets holding the brackets for the cooking grates are not properly fastened. ... In addition the latches do not securely latch the middle portion of the drum to the bottom portion.  ...  "
