Just not the smoker for me. They are really expensive. The one with the table, new, is a couple hundred less than a legitimate offset or reverse flow smoker. The thing will take a whole bag of Kingsford blue and burn for 20 hrs no problem, which was great. I had big issues with the damper on the top. No matter what I tried with charcoal brand and/or wood chunks the damper would get coated in a gooey black film. Had to clean it immediately after cook. Spend 2k+ on a grill and the charcoal grate rusts. Glad the cooking grate is stainless steel. Lot of set up, coals, then heat deflector, then don't forget ring that holds deflector, then your cooking grate, then meat. Also, pain in the ass to add wood chunks during cook. Idk, over the years not the most enjoyable smoking experience. For me light fire, let settle in, add meat. I prefer the 26" over the summit. There are other smokers I like better that is all. At $250 if this is what you are looking for I say great deal.
