I just got my Junior Elite on Friday. I'm loving it. I've done fatties several times already both sausage and fillings and beef and fillings. smoked some potatoes and asparagus with them. Tomorrow I'm doing a couple of 6# chickens (and there is plenty of room for them both because I measured). I love the automation of the pellet auger and fire pot, but I can understand how this would be considered a beginner version of a smoker/grill. It's perfect for me to be getting my feet wet, but I also see something more specialized in my future. For now though, this is perfect for me. My two cents at any rate. Hope this helps.
