I have the same exact model I got it about 2 years ago. I just love it. I smoke salmon, pepperoni,kielbasa,landjaeger,calabrese,summer sausage, salami, bacon, ham and just about every kind of sausage you can think of. I make a smoked dried hunter sausage out of my venison. All turn out great. Its an excellent piece of eqiptment. IMHO.
