I have had my Orion for two years, and I love it! Ribs, pork roasts, wings, thighs, brisket, all are great and easy on this cooker. It is a little pricey if you use the Matchlight charcoal as they suggest, but I find that regular charcoal with lighter fluid works as well and is somewhat less expensive. Works great with or without wood chips. Only three problems I have found so far are 1. There is a lot of flame when it is initially fired up. 2. Clean up is not what one would consider remotely easy. 3. Boston butts take longer than the recommended time before they are falling apart tender ( I'm not sure how much, yet.) the butt will be fully cooked according to the thermometer, but will have to be sliced not pulled. In my opinion, the Orion is a fantastic cooker. I actually use it as much as my charcoal grill.
