I am thinking of getting one. But do you use it for random things like quick burgers or steak as well? That is all my wife and I grill, is the occasional steak, or burgers and chicken.

i already have a grill for fast cooking.
Pretty sure a smoker is to be used kind of like a crock pot is used for red beans and rice.
Or a pressure cooker.

Slow cooked meat is what I'm looking for.

Yes. It's actually very good as a grill and you can get it to really high temps

Thank me later or spend 70 more and get the 22 inch model. You simply will not find a better smoker in your price range.
