I've owned and used both the black steel model (5030) and this stainless one (5029). There are 2 things missing on the stainless model that my black 5030 had: 1) There are no dampers in the lid to help regulate smoke/heat and 2) The body does not rotate a few degrees and come up-off the base. from Amazon.com This pulls some serious electricity -- it runs off a 1000-plus-watt element -- and in my house, it causes breakers to switch off. I eventually converted this to a charcoal smoker (Meco sells a kit to do this). This really shouldn't be a problem in newer houses. from Amazon.com First off, I bought my Meco 5029 from another vendor, but because I'm an Amazon Prime customer, I wanted to relay my experience here. This is my 4th water smoker. from Amazon.com First off, I bought my Meco 5029 from another vendor, but because I'm an Amazon Prime customer, I wanted to relay my experience here. This is my 4th water smoker. from Amazon.com We've used the basic model Meco for over 8 years and are finally replacing it with this new stainless steel one. They're simple to set up and make it a breeze to cook a great main dish for a dinner party, just put it on and forget about it, and it's nearly impossible to overcook the food. from Amazon.com I love this smoker as it's very easy to use and homemade brisket beats the local bbq joint offerings (in the pacific northwest).

The best feature, and the main reason I bought the MECO, is its side doors which allow you to add water/wood, without having to take the lid off and the meat out.

What I'd like to see better is a real temperature gauge. All it does now is show you Warm/Medium/High.

from Amazon.com the smoker was delivered as promised. from Amazon.com this is a replacement for another (not stainless) smoker. from Amazon.com i use a charcoal smoker, but bought this for my father who really wanted the electric version. from Amazon.com so far i have smoked beef tri-tip with apple wood, and king salmon with cherry wood. from Amazon.com
