I have seen these smokers in BBQ competitions and can see why! They work well and tend to cook a little faster then other smokers! the only reasons I gave it a four instead of a five are - no access door to add more fuel if needed for a longer smoke
- the ash pan should be part of the kit and not have to be ordered separately.
Other then that and they are minor issues it works great and I hope to enjoy mine for many more years!
Drum cooks great !
I’m so happy I bought this kit. It was a great build with amazing results. It holds temperatures and cooks meats with ease
My husband loves it he's been smoking dinner on it for the past week. It works perfectly!
