Set it and forget it - that is a goal!
The temps where taken with nothing in the smoker. I also did a test at 225 degrees. A little less swing in the temp. However, on one reading it hit 204. I recognize this was not a rigerous test as I recorded the tempatures at random intervals.
The only othe issue is spending the $'s and having a smallish cabinet. However, it is mainly for my wife and I so capacity is about right. I do wish the cabinet was, say, 2 inches wider. Yeah, but I have read numous post of people saying the same thing and happy with the unit anyway. SO - I think I'll order one up!
Thank you again for your response.
