As I mentioned above, we must be reading different reviews. Is this the one that you are referring to?

Hunsaker is not a site sponsor. Not sure where you got that?

The repeated mentioning of Max Good makes it sound like you read an old review and are here to pound that home. I have a Hunsaker and I am far from an expert cook. However, I am able to hold extremely steady temps with it.

Ok... still seems like a different article...
But,I’m glad that you WSM and PBC are working for you. I have one of each and enjoy cooking on them as well!

It really seems like the review from Max might have sealed the deal for you on a Hunsaker. I am guessing that Max has far more experience than I do when it comes to cooking on different grills, but it sounds like he didn't use the drum properly. As a novice I can load it up and do overnight cooks.
I get that you don't like it and had a bad experience. You are the first person I have ever seen that has mentioned a customer service problem though. I would still say to take the review you reference with a grain of salt though.

No, customer service was great. Answered every question I had.
I'm sure it was my problem. I've never read a bad review of them. The 55-gallon Hunsaker was much different that the 30-gallon cookers I'm familiar with (WSM, PBC). I'm sure I could have learned their tendencies eventually.

I learned to smoke on a WSM and made some good stuff. I then got a PBC and never used the WSM again and ended up selling all three of them that I had.
I would like to have a Hunsaker at some point.

I hope I can make it. I was looking forward to the Belton get together but, dislocated my shoulder and broke a collar bone. :sad:
:sad:Missing it just made the pain that much worse. I'm finally on the mend and almost fully recovered. :clap2:

I currently have 4 WSM's! Check my signature. :wink:
They are solid smokers but, playing with air intakes is a bit of a pain and refueling if needed is a bit much. I think that's why I'm attracted to the Gateway drums with their upright "grab handle" air intakes. Sure no lid hinge or wheels but, I also don't have to worry about the grease from the central air intake of a Hunsaker which is another fine choice.
Then there are all the other lesser well-known drums to consider mentioned in this thread. Overall, a lot of good options for people to choose from.
