Blacklab, I picked up this smoker a few years ago for small batch or single uses and have to tell you it works very well. I have yet to have any poor results from thissmoker and the propane works excellent for smoking in the winter here in Saskatchewan. I am averaging 20 hours on 20lb tank of smoking in the winter, warmer months I can squeeze 24 or so out of the same tank. IMO great investment, you'll enjoy. Tip is line the water bowl in tin foil, it will save you time in clean up and requiring to buy a replacement. Also spray pam on the racks can help with certain uses, ie jerky or poultry smokes.
