. After dealing with temperature control issues Saturday, well see if that is a defect or a leaning curve issue.
Was it a Big Green Egg you bought? I have a large and it does have a bit of a learning curve but once you get it you can't beat it for long slow cooks. The large is too heavy to take camping and I have considered a small, but they are expensive.

No, I have a large BGE for home....but there's no way to safely transport that beast...I bought a metal knock off....definitely not a BGE, but I think it will do once I lean how to set it up...you're right. Not much can beat them....pizza oven, smoker, grill....it does it all.
But what I have is small...around 15 inch diameter and short enough to fit in my jeep cargo area.
I did a butt Saturday. Suffered from thermal runaway....got up to 300 overnight....so I was done at 3am instead of the lunch I had planned. But even though it got WAY too hot, the meat was still edible. Even after being warmed up again. I'm going to try a dry run (no meat) and try to keep the heat low and slow before I try again. But I need a good brisket...
Vira, I apologize in advance
. I do share...
