My dad has one. It's a nice set it and forget it backyard cooker. It's not legal for KCBS comps, so if you want to go there don't bother. But for backyard smoking for friends/family, you will be very pleased I think. The discs are kinda pricey, but they last a while too so you probably aren't ever going to cry about the cost except that first time when you stock up on all the woods you want.
