I've really liked it. Good luck.

One note: using just charcoal gives you good results; but to me, it tastes grilled, not smoked. You get the fat and juice vaporizing on the coals and that's just the flavor. It's good, but not the same. The 60:40 charcoal:wood smoke I did was the best yet. Good, deep, smoky flavor, and the temp stayed around 310. I do have the air vent choked all the way down to help bring the temp down.

I might PM you if I have any questions after I receive my PBC and start to mess around with it. Hope you don't mind.

Start cooking. Practice. No one got good by ordering takeout.

What's good to practice on?
I'd love to eat ribs & brisket but I'm afraid I'd ruin them.

Ribs are easier.

Pork butt is extremely forgiving. I started there.

I have a gas grill. Should I get a smoker?

It can be done on a gas grill, but if smoking is something you want to get into, get a real smoker.

Any recommendations?

Did a turkey breast on the smoker. The younger son is getting interested in it, and that's very cool.

Yes, upright. Meat hangs above the coals and wood.

That looks interesting.

There is a lot of discussion in this thread about different brands and price points. I think the electric smokers in the $300-$600 range are basically the same between companies. You get what you pay for.

The <$300 and >$600 smokers you will find a wide and varied opinions. There are links in here to electric smoker forums that are full of guys that take using an electric smoker as an art form. But just get their information and opinions. They was way too serious.

Most of us in here are your typical backyard smokers. Probably have better advice for the smoking noob.
