This product works as designed albeit a bit expensive. I do like the screen insert which helps filter out the dust which I do not like in my smoker. I have a competing product which is a well known brand but its quality cannot match this one. The Oklahoma Joes went thru a major thunderstorm and my pellets were nice and dry. The competing brand one didn't and I lost almost 20 lbs of pellets. To me, the Oklahoma Joes is a life line, I do not have the time to rig up my own. I recommend this product to anyone who wants this type of tool in their Smoker Arsenal. You wont regret it. Disregarding the price i had no hesitation in giving it 5 stars Have fun Glenn
