If you are doing your research, I hope my review helps as it can be really challenging to select a smoker, especially considering the cost. In summary, it is a great product, but mine does have one major flaw. Nevertheless, I think the Silverton is a great product for the price as you get some of the Timberline features at around $500 less. The app is the real game-changer as it works so well with my phone allowing me to monitor my cook and look up recipes while I am in the store.
