I own a OBS like it a lot really only complaint is the recovery time when you open the door to check on  things or mop sauce on meat.

I do.  With the mod's I did , there is great temp control in the parameters I like for the various meats I cook.  The hickory smoke from the pucks doesnt have a sharp taste I get with pellets.  I have tried three different brands of pellets with the A-MAZE-N smoker and like the pucks better.  I would like a higher temp availability, but when needed, I get that with the other smoker's I have.

I have a 4 rack digital. I have dual 500W elements and a fan. Run it with a auber dual PID. I don't use it much since I got the Traeger, SRG and PBC.
I didn't like the recovery time for the heat when you opened the door. Also, it takes forever to come up to temp if you have a big load of meat in it.  (Stock unit) I do like it and will never get rid of it. I like making fatties and nuts in it. Also if I ever get around to it, cold smoking some cheese.

OBS here as well, with the Auber PID.   I just use it for cold smoking now, as my Pellet Pits do all of the heavy lifting.

I have a OBS: dual probe PID, 900w finned element, and a oven convection fan mod.

I mainly use it for smoking salmon, cheese, and jerky. Anything that needs cold smoking or tight temp control.

I had to re-enforce the door with a new hinge & plate and make a new front plate. The plastic does not seem to react to the heat well. Other than that I am happy with it's performance.

I've owned an OBS since 2007 and an Auber PID.  Dual element mod but planning on installing the 900W element.
