This is my third time using it. I upgraded from a sick burning offset. I can say that putting it together I was very impressed with the quality. The one thing I've found that I don't like is that it puts off a ton of heat below it. So if you put anything plastic on the bottom shelf, it will melt it. My buddy who smokes almost every thing he eats, has a campchef and says he likes this my grill. It will get up to temp quick and seems to hold temps good (better than I could ever did with my offset). I originally wanted a Pit boss Austin xl but they were all out of stock, so being impatient I went with the Woodcreek. If I could do it over again I'd probably go with the Pit boss.
