It states that it will keep a UDS running up to 12 hours. Can it run longer than 12 hours? On a 10lb Boston butt it could be a 20+ hour smoke.

No reason why it couldn't. This unit plugs in and is not limited by battery power like other units.

I just finished a BBQ contest last weekend and ran 14 hrs. I think it will run as long as you want, they work awesome and would highly recomend it!

i use mine with a uds also .. i have run mine 16 hrs strait on a beef brisket with no problem..it all depends on how much charcole / wood you have in there..

It worked for 16 hours for me, i think as long as you have coals burning, it will run till they go out.

I ran 16hrs with it no problem. That's the longest smoke I have done so far.

It all depends on how large your coal basket is. 20hrs is a tall order. I would purchase two or three smaller butts, or cut your 10lb into two 5lb.

I have a 22.5 WSM and it can go 12 hrs using lump. I can only guess on a 18 WSM and that guess would be around 8 hrs give or take. Remember the outside (ambient) air temp will greatly effect burn length.

10 minutes after you plug it. It will give you a boatload of smoke on a 30-45 second press of the button then needs a couple minutes to hear back up and go again. It kept my corner lot front yard smokey for 4 hours on Halloween.

Definitely, I just smoked a 11.5 lb pork shoulder in it last night and it still had about 8 inches above. I have smoked over 25lbs at once with no problems.

When you turn the timer over to two hours, stop one click short of all the way over. It is possible to turn it so far it gets jammed in the on position. I hope she turned it off and left the house for a while. It sucks the oxygen out of the air. Works really good. I've used it for pet and smoke smell in rentals. Very happy with it.

I live in Arkansas, our winters are not as extreme as yours, but to answer the question. I do smoke on it in temps of 30-40 degrees and I increase the cooking time. During the summer the times are shorter because it does hold the heat better when it's hot. So for instance a pork butt during winter will take 12-13 hrs, summer 9-10 hrs. As for indoors, no way, outdoor use only. Hope this helps you,

I have used this exact smoker for 2 years and make a LOT of processed meat. I like to add wood for the first 2-3 hours and you will need to put in more chips every 20 minutes or so. After that I am just using the "smoker" to slow cook the meat, a typical batch of 25lbs of sausage takes about 4-5 hours. Also this doesn't use much propane, using a 175 degree temperature I can get an easy 15 hours of use on a 5 gallon tank. I haven't paid that much attention but at least 3 batches of meat if not more.

In my experience they last around 3 hours, which is less than duraflame but, they definitely put off more heat. In my opinion, getting more heat and a good non-smokey smell is a great trade-off for one less hour of burn time.

Mine usually runs for 10-12 before I refill it. It's going to depend on the level of saturation you put it to.

Not sure. Like I said in a previous answer- I had my husband take the test who is a regular daily smoker and he tested negative the next day- which according to the literature online from lab resources- he should have been positive. Most on the lab resource literature states that a smoker should not smoke for 7-10 days for a clean urine test and that sometimes is could be up to 30 days. Having said that- the cartridges that I had were faulty due to the next day negative test and therefore unreliable.

They last much longer tan I thought they would. On "Smoke" they last for about four hours, I think. I check them and push them toward the hopper when I check (about hourly).

I suppose you could leave it on 24/7 but I see no need to. It has up to eight hour increments so I would think that would be plenty if you gave it a rest in between. However, I doubt that it would hurt it. I let it run most of the time but if no one is going to be in there I see no need. I guess the best bet would be to contact Oreck but I am certainly pleased with the purifier and will be getting a larger one for our living area later.

I didn't find that to be the case. It will, however, smoke when it gets hot for a few days after you apply it.

Hi, I think it also depends on if you just have it on for humidity or if you have it on as diffuser. I have never had it 10/12 hours or if I did, very rarely. I had a regular diffuser that I bought not from amazon and that one truly lasts. its called the premium whisper diffuser off abundanthealth. This one is ok, but isn't exactly how I would have wanted it to work. takes more ti fill and clean where as the other one I had was quite a sinch. Anyway, sometimes the wate lasts a bit longer than 3 hours, but rarely the 10/12 hours. Maybe I am doing something wrong on my end. Hope I helped some.

Ive been smoking for years and it seems that after 4 hours you meat is not going to take on any more smoke flavoring. Matter of fact when I make Pulled Pork or Brisket I will wrap it after 4 hours and there is plenty of smoked flavors with that nice red smoke ring. Even Ribs if you use the 3-2-1 method only take smoke for the first 3 hours. In addition most everything else I smoke, minus the above mentioned meats, are less than 4 hour smokes.

Dear Friend, I have this item, but have not ran it long enough to give first hand info on this part. HOWEVER, much research including reading the Owners Manual & other peoples reviews, leads me to believe appx 8 hours is a good estimate. Seems like if you run a light load, you might stretch it to almost 10 hours. This is for a 20 lbs. Tank. I have based my back-up supply on 8 hours and have decided to be happy for any minutes I get past that mark. Good luck, R2

The time it runs varies according to the setting you choose. I generally set it to run continuously and it lasts about four or five hours. Love the effect!
