Title: Poor access to the charcoal pan
Product review: Just finished cooking a chicken on this. It was hard to maintain a good temperature (today was about 70 degrees and sunny, almost no wind) and working on the coals through the small door is hard at best.So I don't recommend this model. If your interested in a smoker, I'd recommend moving up a level to a model that gives better access to the charcoal pan. I'd return this model if I could but I don't think they'll take it back now that I've used it - so I guess I'm stuck with it. There is a video on "youtube" that shows a guy modify this to make it work for him, maybe I'll try that.I also don't like that the temperature gauge in it doesn't give you the temperature. Instead it has 3 zones on it - warm, ideal and hot. Not very useful - so now I have to buy another gauge to tell me what the temperature is.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
