**Updated: Sept 24th 2020**
After one full summer of smoking, I can honestly say that I love the food I have made with this smoker (and so does my neighbor). I have burned through at least a dozen propane tanks. I've smoked everything from salmon, beef, pork, chicken, vegetables, including eggplant for baba ghanoush, and even made my own chipotles and smoked cayenne peppers, which were awesome is my smoked cast-iron baked beans... My Bluetooth thermometer also held up all season. The smoker has held up well, there's a small brisket flat on there now. There is one burn spot on the outside rear of the smoker where the burner is, but has not hurt the integrity of the smoker box. I keep the smoker covered when not in use. The door gasket tape was a must and has definitely helped contain the smoke in the smoker. I used the "FireBlack Hi Temp BBQ Smoker Gasket Self Stick 15 ft High Heat 1/2 x 1/8 Black", from Amazon, which fit both doors perfectly. I think this is a pretty standard upgrade for any smoker, based on all the reviews I've read. I agree with a lot of the reviews about the poorly designed wood/water tray. I do not put water in the water/wood chip tray, I use disposable aluminum trays for the water on the bottom shelf and overload the wood chip tray with one or two larger wood chunks and a bunch of presoaked wood chips. I have not had any problems with not having enough smoke. I have not wanted for more shelves, but do think I will be upgrading to a larger smoker at some point, so I can fit full slabs of ribs and full briskets (just need the wife's permission). The shelves are a little too small for this (14 x 14 inches), so ribs have to be cut in half and it only fits smaller cuts of brisket. But as an intro to smoking, this was a huge success. I also built a cedar cabinet with a cement countertop to go with this smoker, that provides much needed counter space and storage for the propane tank, wood chips, and trays (picture attached). If you are thinking of trying out a smoker, as a beginner, I think this smoker is a good bet. It made me a smoking addict.

It comes with a water pan with a circular wood chip holder in the middle. The pan sits in rails above the burner. A space saving design with a drawback. The pan holds small amounts of chips and water. So I found myself constantly going into the firebox to add water and chips.
Also the lack of a drip pan means that drippings fall onto the chips. Enough drippings fall into the wood chip pan extinguishing the smoke.
I used it for the first time to smoke a trimmed off brisket flat on one shelf. The point, for burnt ends, on another shelf and a rack of ribs on the third shelf. It was an 9 hour cook in total.
Setting the burner dial down to 1/4 off the lowest setting held the temp at 275 F. A good amount of smoke was produced after 15 minutes. The smoke lasted 20 minutes tops and the temperature was creeping up. When I opened the firebox, the water had evaporated and the wood chips burned down too fast. After that I found myself in and out of the firebox every 30 minutes. Which was a pain because I also had a grill going with other stuff.
One of my fellow reviewers suggested using the extra water pan and placing it on the lowest shelf, and using the combo pan for wood chips. Great suggestion, but the extra water pan I find too shallow so I'll be using a foil tray as a drip/water pan. The combo pan will be used for wood chips as suggested.
As to the end result of the smoke; everyone raved about the smokiness and taste of the brisket, burnt ends, and ribs. So the Cuisinart cos-244 did its job.
I will update this review after my next smoke using the foil tray as a water/drip pan.
UPDATE: I smoked 12 pork chops on my next cook. I used the water/chip tray as strictly a chip tray. I used a small foil pan as a drip/water tray.
The smoker maintained 275F during the 2 hour cook. Plenty of consistent smoke was produced with less opening of the doors to replenish the chips or water.
At the end of the cook when the chops hit 140F, there was plenty of chips and water left. The chops had great color and were moist.
Update 07/24/19: Had two more cooks in this smoker; babyback ribs, pork shoulder, flank steak and top rump roast.
I used the included water/drip pan both times. I found that in a 4 hour smoke I had to fill it twice.
Maintaining the temperature was not bad. Though there is a some smoke leakage top the top sides. I'm considering sealing the top with Lava lock sealant.
So far so good. The meat is juicy and smokey. I've had nothing but compliments about the meat that comes out of that smoker. I am very happy with it.
Its easy to assemble a philips #2 will work.
I haven't owned a larger smoker like this before id say its priced about right. It has its pros and cons. Follow the instructions season the smoker.
Pros:
Light weight to me
Easy to use
Easy to assemble
It is respectably sturdy.
Water tray
3 good size grates about 13-14" inside diameter i could fit a medium cooking sheet in there.
Cons:
-The assembly is kinda cheap on the inside the rivets arnt as sturdy as the should be
Smoke does slowly leak from the door seal but not a massive amount as long as its not too windy.i may put a fabric fire proof seal on the door n see if that helps.
-The door latch assembly is cheesy maybe a cost cut?
-Needs a larger water dish
-Needs a larger wood chip box for sure
I burn the whole box in 3 hours thats with chips soaked for 8 hours. This makes it tough for longer smoking.
-Temperature drastically drops when the door is opend for only a few seconds mabye about 8 sec? And out goes the heat
- the analog door temp guage is false by 35 degrees? see my video for your own visual. I went and bought a respectable digital temp probe set from my local H.D. for 45 bucks.
These are my honest findings on this product. this is my first smoker ive owned like most things the have their pros and cons id say for $200 its not bad. If i have more pros ir cons to add down the road i will be back
