I have not been disappointed yet.
I wouldn't bother with the new thermostat without giving the current one a few tries.

Yeah, I was thinking of firing up some butts in it this weekend. I like to do ribs really low and slow and then sauce em and increase the temp a bit, but I think the medium setting would work just as well at that point. My only concern is something like butts, as I pull mine off around 200. Therefore, I'm hoping the smoke setting is more than capable of staying closer to 225 than it is 180.
