Great smoker

I have had this smoker on 3 separate occasions. All of them were great....easy to control hear when smoking and enough space to smoke ribs upright or multiple roasts.
The biggest issues have had, is a leg rusting out....a cheap and easy fix though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Smoker

I have had the deluxe offset smoker for 7 years now, and I couldn't be any happier with the quality of smoked meat I have smoked over the years. The cooking surface is spacious enough for a varity of meats.
For the fist few years I was able to keep the smoker in the garage away from the outside elements to that point the smoker remaind flawless. After about 2 years of storing it outside the fire box has began to rust away to the point of almost falling off. I would encourage that you purchase some type of grill cover if you are going to store it outside. I have read many of the reveiws and I agree with most of them. You will loose a lot of smoke around the edges of the fire box, main cooking chamber, and smoke stack. Also the metal grate in side the fire box that holds the charcoal and wood is not very durable and will warp over time. Another flaw that the smoker has is the theromostat that comes with it. It does not guage actual temperture readings. It only indicates warm and hot.
I am looking foward to purchasing this grill again. This time I will make some modifications to the pit to reduce some of the smoke and heat leakage. I will also install two additional thermostates on each side of the main chamber as the temp. varies across the smoker. All in all this is a great smoker for the price.

Versatile and spacious

I'm going on three years with my smoker and I have done a lot of cooking – from burgers and dogs to much more complex smoking of briskets and Thanksgiving turkeys. It's a great buy for someone who wants versatility but doesn't want to break the bank.
My only regrets are the integrity of the metal and the durability of the paint. I live in South Texas where it doesn't rain a whole lot. The sun is quite intense in the summer. However, we can get some measurable rain. I'm having to replace the firebox (bottom rotted out) and also having to soon paint the exterior of the entire smoker for the second time.
So for anyone who purchases this product, make sure to buy a cover or keep it out of the elements.
Other than that, I hope to have this smoker for many more years. I LOVE IT!

I likethe option of smoker/cooker/big grill

6 years of usage, had to replace fire box bottom and bottom drawer combo.I added a piece of all thread across the center of the large compartment to stop warpage.The frame could be heavier! This tool gets used multiple times a week for cooking and smokes salmon and other fish often. It has held up well and the parts that have worn out have been in stock for replacement. The wear and tear are all heat and sea air related and to be expected.
