All - Thank you for all of the welcome messages. I have to be honest...I'm a tinkerer and modified my first 2 smokers for either higher wattage or more airflow. When I looked at my new smoker yesterday it appeared counter intuitive smaller intake/drain with a larger exhaust...neither of which come close to what I'd expect diameter wise BUT I'm controlling myself and not passing judgement until I've fired this puppy up a number of times. I trust in all the great reviews and look forward to not constantly watch or so it seems. I'll use dual probes but I do understand the temp swings. I'm curious if my A-Maze-N pellet tube will work (3 bags of pellets sitting on my shelf) but we shall see. I do love the smart design of the SI boxes with a covered element, removable rack and hangers, sloped bottom, built like a tank, great insulation and of course all stainless.....what's not to love. I would like to thank Old Sarge Dave for his patients with all of my questions about the product.....Thank you Dave.
