Second cook done! Did a single rack of beef back ribs. Once again turned out great. I did a one hour wrap in paper towards the end. First time doing that. I can't quantify this but it seems the unit cooks a little faster than more prior smoker and resulting product is definitely more moist. Yum!
Next up is a chicken and I'll follow that with a pork shoulder.
Zero regrets on spending the $'s. Zero regrets on getting the SM025 and not the SM045. So far this is a perfect size for my household. If I need to do more than the unit can handle I can fire up the Big Green Egg XL.
