Wanted a Cajun Bandit stacker for a long time and now I finally got one. I'm impressed by the solid construction and how tightly it fits on the kettle. I ordered it with the heat deflector. It also comes with a coal ring which holds a ton of fuel. I did a test burn with a full load of KBB with the deflector in. I monitored the temp with my maverick and I found it was responsive and easy to control. I ran it for 12 hours at temps from 250-264 with only small temp adjustments every 2-3 hours. The way it behaved and operated was very much like my Big Green Egg I used to have. I shut it down after 12 hours. The next morning I found that I still had enough fuel to run it at least another 2-3 hours. Very impressive!!! I have done a couple small cooks on it and am seeing the versatility of it. Made some chicken kabobs with the deflector taken out. It was sort of a direct/indirect cook. The turned out great. They were cooked nicely and very juicy. Turned out the same as if I cooked them on a komado. Soon I will do a long cook with a pork butt. Love this product. Wish I would have gotten it sooner. It's a must have!
