The Weber Smokey Mountain is the best smoker you can purchase for home use, many people use this product for competition cooking and do very well with it. I'm pleased with the results and the quality of the product. I mounted a thermometer to the lid but I think I could have easily used this smoker with out it as it maintains an excellent smoking temp with almost no adjustment. If you are new to BBQ there are many resources available online that can guide you in learning how to cook almost anything on this unit.
