I am traveling to Dallas this weekend to visit some offset pit builders. In particular, I am interested in a Jambo or Jambo style traditional offset smoker and have been looking at the Rockin W backyard unit. There are several units out there with airflow design similar to Jambo (R&O, El Ray, etc.) but the Rockin W appears to be very well built and have some unique features such as the air intake system and wider exhaust at the bottom of the stack.
I have read all the threads on this site regarding Rockin W but would greatly appreciate current feedback from users of the backyard 24x48 model. Rockin W is fairly new and don't have the reputation some other builders do so of course I have reservations.

1) Are the welds good quality and hold up to time / heat without cracking?
2) Does the unit have good draft and burn clean? It will need to draft well given the air intake design which enters toward the top of the firebox door and ducts to the bottom.
3) Is temperature even across the grates?
4) Do you like the single door vs. two small ones?
I welcome feedback on any other points as well.
Thank you!
