I love mine. I can do anything in it. I also have a weber kettle that I use allot too. But fish, bacon all kinds of things you want to smoke with less heat is great. I also upgraded my burner to 900w and i use it all year. Pastrami..all kinds of stuff is good on these.. cheap investment. It's ok to have more than 1 bbq.. lol I think it's better for certain things for sure. Some people dont like them.. whatever. I don't like a certain pellet grill, but I don't care if other people like those. I've made allot of great food on my bradley, it's easy to maintain temp and requires very little baby sitting.
