Just quickly googing it, i came up with nothing.  Do you have pic of it?  Is it like some of the other smokers on this forum?  I would say the best thing to do is to fire it up and take some notes.

I suppose the best advice is to look around the forum for whatever it is your are wanting to smoke and give it a try to see how the unit performs. You should buy a digital therm to use to monitor the temps inside the smoker, and not initially trust the one (if there is one) on the smoker. It might be a good idea if you could take pictures of the smoker with doors open, etc. so we can get a better idea of what you are dealing with. Burner placement, chip box, water pan, drip pans, etc. It would be easier to offer ideas, suggestions if we know what you are looking at...

Looks nice.

For that price, you can get a GOSM Big Block delivered to your doorsteps.

If the dimensions are similar to the Big Block, then I think you have a pretty good deal there.

I looked up the GOSM and it dosen't even come close as to what I can see with the used Members Mark that I got. The GOSM isn't insulated for one and it also dosen't have the cubic smoking area that mine has. The smoking " tower or area " is much lower and you'd just about have to get on your hands and knees to load, check, fill the water basin.
