Only way to add wood or charcoal is by actually removing the food and grill and then adding from the top. That being said it holds it's temp very well and unless I'm doing my longer cooks requires very little tinkering with to keep at desired temp. Can also handle anything from about 175 all the way up to 950 which is fantastic.
Looflighter - Bought this day 1 with my keg so I don't really have any comparisons but it's very easy to use. I'm lazy and don't like standing there holding it while lighting my charcoal so I rigged it up with duct tape and a piece of plastic so it's always on while plugged in, that's why it sorta looks like it has a holster.
Pitmaster IQ 130 - This is my most recent addition. Those pork butts were actually my first time using it. I went with the Pitmaster mainly due to compatibility with my keg. It was the only brand that I was 100% positive that I would be able to connect it to my keg. First impression was good, I still need to play around with vent settings a little bit to really dial it in but I think it's going to make my 15-20 hour smokes way easier and less stressful. I wish they had a wifi version instead of only bluetooth but at least the bluetooth stayed connected anywhere in my house which was nice.

I noticed the new Kegs have a lift out section in the grill for refilling charcoal and wood. I wonder if that grill piece can be purchased and put on an older Keg?
