Going to try it out this weekend or next if possible. I'll post results/thoughts afterwards.

honestly you should have just bit the bullet and gone all in. Meaning you should have bought a meat smoking factory and stopped slumming it with this personal use at home smoking meats. 
Nice.
You do realize that everytime you fire that up one to ten of us are just going to be lunting around your neighborhood.

I’m jealous of the cool smoker and now pouting because it’s another 60 days before I can rock on the deck with a pipe while putting fire to all things meat!
Nice box lol
Show us what’s inside.

It's supposed to hold up to 6 hours of wood for smoking:
That’s a significant upgrade from having to load one of these ever 45mins
Cabela's has them for $79.99 with free shipping. Plus I had a $50 gift card so it was an easy decision.
That’s a hell of a good deal!
They aren’t on sale here so I guess I’m stuck with
For a little longer.
Gonna put a 12lb butt on the camp chef tonight at midnight. Smoke for 15 hours at 225 to an internal temp of 195. Rest for an hour and dig in

First try today and I'm loving it so far. It provides much more smoke and doesn't add any noticeable heat. I used the base unit for heat.
Did some brisket burnt ends, pork loin chops, and bone/marrow:
Everything was fantastic but I'm still learning and can do better.

@shanez @Blue ridge smoke looking good.
Just as a point of reference my Cookshack smoker uses 2-3 pieces of wood each about the size of a pack of cigarettes for an all night smoke. It appeals to my underlying laziness, load it, turn in on and forget about it until the temperature alarm indicates it's done.

I like the ease and convenience of an electric pellet smoker but miss the " manning the fire" aspect of my past stick burner horizontal smoker. Also think there is better flavor with a traditional smoker. I've got 4& 1/2 years until I retire and when I do ill be driving to south Georgia to buy a Lang reverse flow smoker and go back to manning the fires.
Every time I fall for this thread. Thinking some new pipe or new tobacco, and click on it and it's meat smoking. Nothing wrong with meat smoking, and I love it. I need to get on to this activity.
