I have a new PK300 and an Akorn. I have previously owned a Weber 22”, a Masterbuilt 560, and a Pit Barrel Cooker.

Recently picked up a masterbuilt 1050 new in box from a local auction site for about half price. Prior to that I was using a chargriller offset barrel grill/smoker that I had added a ton of lava lock gasket to in order to make it somewhat smoke tight. I decided I'm getting too damned old to have to get up every two hours to tend to a smoke box just so I can have brisket.

My 560 kept having massive flare ups after two years of ownership no matter how I cleaned it. You got a great deal but it is not going to last long IMO.
