Here are a couple photos of my brand new smoker! Of course it did not come assembled, but the assembly wasn't too bad.
I gave her a short test runthis evening, the temp was very uniform throught the smoker and was very easy to control, mostly due to using a large amount of water used. Water has an amazingly high specific heat capacity as well as a particularly high heat of vaporization. This turns water into an amazing temperature buffer.

I will be mostly using charcoal. The smoker contains a propane burner underneath the coal containing bowl. Using low propane in conjunction with charcaol made the coal burn more uniformly. Impressive design.
