We report on our simulation of finite temperature lattice QCD with two flavors of ${ \cal O}(a)$ Symanzik-improved fermions and ${ \cal O}(a^2)$ Symanzik-improved glue. Our thermodynamic simulations were performed on an $8^3 \times 4$ lattice, and we have performed complementary zero temperature simulations on an $8^3 \times 16$ lattice. We compare our results to those from simulations with two flavors of Wilson fermions and discuss the improvement resulting from use of the improved action.
