New guy here, back yard BBQ for years on a simple rig. I have purchased this unit second hand from a BBQ joint in SoCal this week! A friend of mine has the CES6 model, so I've had some exposure to what it can do. The BBQ place said they simply couldn't get the volume they wanted out of it, but otherwise loved it. It's an amazing tool to have in the arsenal. Compared to something like a treager its got the upper hand in terms of efficiency and time. I use less than a cup of wood chips. Flavors have been out of this world. I can't complain about texture either. Agqin, just got it this week so I have only done two hickory smoked whole chickens with pale ale in the percolator and the fabled 4 racks of ribs on apple wood with apple juice in the percolator. Chicken was surprisingly crispy on the outside and super tender everywhere. The ribs got great reviews from my family and 3 friends. I'm no pit master, but will continue to experiment with it... Varying woods and liquid in the percolator.
Overall it's different than anything I've tried, but it has potential to make amazing food. Its NOT a bomb, the pressure inside is more like a breathing mechanism constantly oscillating between positive and negative low pressures. It so sturdy, it could double as a safe with the right lock. Its HEAVY, but has good wheels. Ill continue to experiment. Hope this helps if you're considering it. If you have questions, let me know.
