Thanks
It will take a lot of time to get up to heat if there's any kind of wind. I've never seen mine get to 225 or 250 like it should... It's great for doing cheeses, cold smoked salmon, etc. Don't expect too much from it. You can buy a cheap welding blanket from princess auto, and that will help with the heat retention... don't cover the top if you do that...
