I got mine over a month ago but due to circumstances haven't been able to use it until today. I'm doing a 4 pound boneless turkey breast smoked over hickory and peach wood, hope to slice it to make turkey sammys. The directions tell you to use a firestarter cube with a dozen coals, that's the only instruction I disregarded. I got a dozen or so going in a chimney, packed them in the corner (along with a hickory chunk) and then added a 3/4 full chimney of unlit coals to the chamber along with some strategically peach and hickory wood.
So far the results have been amazing. Here in Wisconsin it's a sunny day but pretty windy with temps in the upper 40's. Just a few tweaks of the upper and lower vents (Weber Platinum Performer) and I've held a rock solid 250 dome temperature, 225 at the grate level. It's been on for almost two hours now and the internal temp is 131 so I've got a ways to go yet.
