Louisiana @costco: great PID controller, small hopper but nice build
Camp Chef: INDISPENSABLE hopper dump chute, and firebox trapdoor. Not having to take apart the smoker to vacuum out ash or scoop pellets is just too good. I own one of these, the new ones have a better controller like the Louisiana
Rec-Tec: great controller, quite a common upgrade for every other grill. Great build quality, harder to find and get
Cost is no option? Go with a Yoder, the steel is insanely thick, meaning much better temp control.
At ALL costs avoid Traeger. Dodgy build, bad controllers, not worth what they charge.

I ended up pulling the trigger, deal was just to good.
I've used it 3 times so far; Ribs, Pork Loin and last night did a Beef Tenderloin and I've got to say everything has turned out awesome.
I agree, having to remove the grills to sweep out and vacuum the ash is annoying but saving over $300+ dollars makes up for the inconvenience. I've had no issues with any temperature control so far, its a lot easier to do than I thought it would be.
Never thought I'd enjoy a smoker as much as I have thus far, I cant wait to try out all sorts of other meats/cuts. I think my next protein to tackle is a nice big brisket.
