Anyone have this? Was thinking of getting one to play around with then eventually take it to the cabin.

Take a look also at the Longhorn. It is a bit larger.
Do a google search for the modification Videos.
Will help on sealing and even heat distribution.
These guys have a bunch of gear for the add ons and Mods.

I can just tell you that cheap metal offsets are notoriously finicky and unstable to work with. like Hotch says- there are mods but then you are stuck with a cheap modded smoker.  There is not a mod for cheap, thin metal. Once you have it modded out, you could find a used offset made from better materials that won't drive you crazy every time you use it. But then you'll want to mod that too

As brother @The Cen-Tex Smoker said they are thin. To get them to last you will need to clean the fire box out often! Leaving any ash in there will draw moisture from the air and that starts the countdown on buying your next one!

Following up on brother @The Cen-Tex Smoker's comments. Most of the cheap metal offset smokers leak smoke all over the place and every leak just makes it harder to control the temperature.

Yeah it would be more of a pet project and I would do a few of the mods.

If it's a project, start with good bones- this thing will drive you nuts.

Yep, everyone said it already.  A cheap stickburner is a PIA.  I've got one I'll be cleaning up to sell this weekend.

Food comes out great - better than the egg imo, but adding wood ever 15 minutes gets old.
