This is about the same thing for 60 bucks less.

I smoke everything at 250 to 275. I don't know if I can get down to 225 or
not and I don't care. Couple of weeks ago I did a 14# turkey at 350 and it
was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this performs and
yes, I'd buy another one tomorrow with no hesitation.

As for bang for the buck, this is pretty hard to beat. With "ship to
store" you save a bunch on shipping cost.
