Was wondering if anyone on here has ever tried the Pit Barrel Cooker? http://pitbarrelcooker.com/ Seems like a beginners version of a UDS, but every review I have read says it produces consistently good meat with not much of a hassle. I am wanting to get my first smoker and it seems like this might be a good option? Looking for some insight from someone who knows more than I about smoking meat.

From everything I have read it is a set it and forget it type of cooker and everything I have seen online gives it very good reviews. There are a few youtube videos out there by other people that have used it and given it favorable reviews as a good cooker for those new to smoking/BBQ because it will maintain a consistent temperature which is one of the hardest parts.

Yeah, basically a rich man's UDS. For that money I'd either buy the WSM, or make a UDS, and buy 10 cases of beer
