I have only made the ribs with this cooker, but was very impressed. Both times, the meat did fall off the bone, cooked great and looked like they had been cooking on the grill. They were tasty and delicious.
Before I purchased, I did find some tips about the cooker on other sites, and am passing them along here.
1) Before you start cooking, make sure the cooker is in a place you want it to stay because you cannot move it once it's on, it is too hot and no handles on the sides. No biggie, just know where you want to cook it.
2) Place a layer of aluminum foil on the bottom prior to cooking. This HELPS TREMENDOUSLY with clean up. After each set of ribs, I just pull the aluminum foil up (carefully to keep the drippings on it) and then soak. Eliminates a lot of the soak time and I have had no problem with the remainder of clean up.
I even had my friend try these ribs who is a very critical person of ribs and she is now looking to get one...Read more

Just bought today and turned out the most fantastic ribs in 4 hours! Easy cleanup! Now I found out that it can also be used like a big crockpot. Now I can cook dynamite food without the weather cooperating!

Very easy to use we've cooked baby back ribs, country style ribs and chicken legs in it already. The meat comes out perfectly, fall off the bone juicy! Clean up is very easy, don't know why it would be troublesome unless food is burned onto the crock.
Entire crock pulls out, soaked in some warm soapy water for a couple of hours and it pretty much just wipes clean. Only a heat mat is needed to protect counters, but that's normal for heat generating appliances.
