I have no connection with these guys, other than being a very,
very satisfied customer. If you're familiar with electronics,
you'll realize that the products are very high, commercial,
quality. The key to all the products is a controller device that
measures both the internal temp of the smoke chamber and a second
probe that measures the internal temp of the meat.

In the case of the coals/charcoal offset-type smokers, a variable
speed fan brings in outside air to the SMOKE chamber (not the fire
pit) to regulate the temperature to the preset degree. In the
case of the electric smokers, the controller regulates the heat
produced by the heating element. It's not an on/off control for
it, but rather a change in the heat output in order to maintain a
constant temperature in the hood.

One of the best features is that when the meat reaches 25f of its
desired final temp, the controller begins to ramp DOWN the cooking
temperature, so that the two meet at precisely the desired meat
temperature. I have one of these on my Bradley, and it's
absolutely fool proof, reliable and permits you to obtain
repeatable results time and time again. I liked it so well I
bought one for my son.

I have one and really love it. Set and forget. I'm getting to old to think
that checking on my pit every thirth minutes is 'fun'.

We have on for our Kamado, and DH just loves it. It may have been one
of the best gifts I have ever gotten him. Used it yesterday while we
were out shopping!!

it is a good 'crutch'. I don't knock anyone for getting one. I almost
bought one once but forced myself to learn and now I can set up my
modified 19" weber kettle with steel drum spacer and walk away. If I can
do it on this contraption, regardless of brisket, ribs or chickens
anyone can. You just need to be willing to take the time to master the
heat source.
