Watch-outs

Needs wind-blocking to hold steady temps outdoors
Water pan needs frequent refilling during longer cooks
Some reports of paint peeling near the firebox after initial seasoning
No side burner for sauces/sides

Known niggles

Some owners can't get the smoker past 200-210°F even on high, especially in wind
Burner susceptible to blowing out in breezy conditions, requiring an added wind shield
Water/wood tray sits too close to the burner and dries out or burns through fuel in under 30 minutes
No door seal, making temperature control harder
