How long have you owned it, how much have you used it, and how's it holding up?

I talked a coworker into getting the larger one cause he's just starting to believe into Q'ing. He loves his, cooks on it a few times a week now.

Got one a few weeks ago.
Used it 8-10 times for smoking a brisket, reverse searing steak, smoked a turkey breast, etc.
I love it. Definitely go with lump over briquettes. The slots at the bottom of the chimney are a little too wide for the smaller briquettes.
It's held up well, but I have seen a few videos of people placing a stainless steel insert into the chimney to increase the longevity of it.

Popcorn. Looking at buying either this or the Weber SmokeFire in the spring.

I've had mine for about 6 months, love the thing. It's under a covered patio and I throw a cover on it so it's holding up great, no rust. This thing is about as full proof as you can get to a stick burner with the wood flavor. I stopped smoking all together on my Yoder, the flavor does not compare.

Have a 1050 for a cpl months now. I love to cook in it. Easy as can be to set the temp. Plenty of space to cook and use pans. Food has been great. I use the briquettes and wood chunks haven’t tried lump yet. It is not fuel efficient like my primos but I still will elect to use it. How long will it last, who knows but it is worth it to me thus far.
I smoked these ribs at 150 (because it can go that low) for a hour with ease. I was prepping them for a sous vide cook for 24hrs at 150. Then batter/deep fried...perfection.

I’ve had mine since April and have been very happy. It’s holding up well, kept covered under the patio. The cast iron grates look great; I oil them after I cook. Like others have said, it’s not efficient but it’s painless. I have been adding wood chunks to ash bin for on demand smoke, but I’m about to try wood mixed in the hopper with the charcoal.

What kind of radiant heat/embers does this thing produce? Would it be safe on a deck?

Definitely safe for a deck. No real downward radiant heat, the fan is mounted underneath and forces the heat through the smoker and out the top of the back. All embers are collected in an enclosed ash bin.
