Took her for a test run today. Definitely not as hands off as a traditional smoker but it did worked pretty well.

Thanks. It’s only been done a week and the weather hasn’t been great for smoking. I’ll post up with some cook results soon. Here is my real smoker - this was my first build. This one just takes more effort to get out and going. Probably try some shorter smoke time items (ribs, wings, etc) on...
