Has anyone used this top for smoking? What;s your opinion on it?

If you need to add smoke flavor to your fish, meat or anything else it works great. Because of the fairly high temperature and close proximity of the racks you will not cure with smoke but rather add smoke flavor while cooking.

We haven't tried smoking with it yet, but plan to & see no reason why it wouldn't work.

If you can control the heat you should have no problem. I used a little to much wood and a little to much air and burnt the cover BUT I am one that does not want to wait to long so I paid for it although the cover is still used to protect the Volcano has a distinct odor of BURN. I was smoking Trout and it was very good.

Don't know re the smoking. Have used my top 2X. Happy with it so far. Could easily bake bread I think, once got the heat regulated.

I would suggest not buying it. My pipe did not have a hole for air to pass through. You literally can't smoke anything out of it. I'm gonna use it as a prop for a costume I guess.

I have only wanted to get it up to 350 where I smoked a chicken. Never have needed nor wanted it any hotter. It is a great little smoker. Gives you the ability to choose the amount of smoke you want in your food. You can smoke the whole time or just give a 10 minute smoke.

I use a hemp wick ik they were designed for bees wax but I absalutly love them very low smoke almost none but with anything other than bees wax you'll get smoke sets well rigid enough without being obnoxious

It's sturdy I have used it many a time and hasn't warped. Really not a good choice for smoking. It's hard to load when hot so I would look elsewhere

I use it almost exclusively for smoking and just with the supplied ceramic insert. Best smoker out there. Used it with a water pan the first time. Never again. The meat was actually noticeably too moist. Jerry Jordan

Seems to be mostly hi or low it's kinda hard to set an exact temp but you don't really need to preheat much unless your smoking. I'm still loving my SRG I feel it's been a very well worth the money I spent.

It has helped me with second hand smoke. It was the only reason I purchased it, to try it out. I'm impressed and will be buying more. Hope I answered your question.

I use mine on my back porch under the roof when it is raining and it works fine with no problems! I have found that if you close the top vent on the smoker it will still smoke the meat or fish or??? adequately with only a small stream of smoke coming out the top. Have never had a fire!

I think it works better than Francis stated, but I agree that the casing is too cheap to try to hang it. It is meant to sit on a table. If it were suspended above you, the smoke from active ingredient probably would never envelope you, as it needs to do to work.

I've had this for about 20 days now and made around 500 cigarettes with it. I haven't come across this problem on a consistent basis yet, but I do know the tightness has to do with how much tobacco is packed. Also have you check the inside? The rubber mat on the bottom comes off easy and you might have tobacco jamming something up. Is it tight to pull when no tobacco is in it? If you pull off the mat and clean, be careful of sharp edges.

Well that sounds like heaven use and while it is sturdy it will eventually wear our. But Andrew here are 2 positives for you: 1. It's not too expensive. 2. It's so quick and easy to use. I say go for it.

Hello, First I tried smoking it. Very Harsh.Then I made tea with it. It is very smooth and quite tasty.find it to be a relaxing but uplifting tea. The price can't be beat. OrYou could palindrome raspberry bushes, then You get the benefit of the berries. I hope this was helpful rev

my husband smokes. I put it just next to the bar he usually sits. it doesn't work that well as i expected. but i can tell the difference by the color if he is not at home. the only thing i like is the filter which doesn't need to replace (cost extra money). Hope it helps

Thanks. How do u like it so far. It seems rather expensive if u have to replace a wick every couple of weeks. Would you recommend this humidifie? And thank you for the information.

We have been using it outside since we purchased it and our smoker has never been wet when we removed the cover. I couldn't understand the "indoor use only" description. Who uses a smoker indoors?

It works great. Once the coil is lit the flame itself gets blown out, and the smoke distributes itself evenly. I do use mine in the terra cotta holder with the lid most of the time, but have used it with just the coil and metal stand and the smoke stays localized.
