No fuss. Get a wireless bluetooth thermometer and go have a beer. My 15 year old is in love with it. We've smoked ribs and chicken, cooked steaks. Cedar plank salmon tomorrow. It's very, very versatile.
I have the Komodo Joe.
Also have the Weber bullet smoker.
The Weber is a quality product, no doubt.
But the ceramic cooker is incredible.
There's a bit of a learning curve but I'm at the point now where I can fire it in the evening, put a huge slab o'pig on at about 930 pm, go to bed, wake up in the morning, do a little adjusting and have a beautiful shoulder ready to eat by 3pm, with the temp in the cooker running 225F-250F the entire time.
