is this a forced draft smoker

No, it is not a forced draft smoker. I added a fan to the interior of mine to circulate the heat bettor.

Yes, I just got mine a few weeks ago. This is my first smoker. The digital controls and the ability to add chips without opening the doormake this a great choice. And don't forget that it is an insulated unit which makes it perform better.

No, it's a manual machine, you load the tobacco in the slot and pull the handle to insert the tobacco into the filter.

Yes, it needs to be smoked out. I put mine in a spare room and shut the door while it smoked out.

It's a gas smoker. You just adjust the gas from the knob on the front or adjust the vent on the top back side. I can pretty easily maintain 220-245 in mild weather. It's a little harder to keep it that low when it's really hot out though. Also you need to open the door every few hours to restock the wood chunks/chips.

No, its a "smoker" designed to cook with smoke long and slow at low heats. for heat, get a grill

We do not allow smoking in the house, therefore we have not tested it against this capability. I can check the instruction manual tonight but my recollection is that it will not. I hope that helped.

I don't think so. It's mostly due to lower temperatures I think. My smoker door broke this spring so I'm disappointed about that.

YES! And it also gets a nice pink smoke ring on the inside! Great little smoker and great customer service!Can't say enough good about this products and the folks that make and sell it!

Yes, as a smoker, this style of smoker does produce smoke. It's necessary to flavor the meat. However, it produces considerably less smoke than the traditional offset smokers or even grills because the smoke is used only as flavor, not as a heat source, and doesn't require the steady stream of hot smoke to cook the meat. Further because of it's very "tight" design - with a very small chimney (only maybe an inch hole) - the smoke dwells on the meat much longer. This style of smoker uses ridiculously small amounts of wood - like literally a single chunk or two per smoke. When using my traditional smoker, you could smell it a block away. With this style smoker, I smell it from maybe a few feet away only. It actually is very well suited for use in proximity too neighbors when you're trying to be thoughtful. Of course, my neighbors always loved the smell of hickory because that meant before too long there would be a knock on their door with an offer of ribs :) Hope this helps future readers !

Not that I can tell. However, I have had mine on my smoker for 2 years now and it keeps temp very well.

Yes. You can use one that has a long cord attached. You can feed the cord through the top of the smoker, since there is a small hole. This smoker is awesome!

No it is not supposed to. However it is pretty week on its own. The smoke comes out extremely slow

I can state that it did a great job keeping out drafts on our kitchen door. Saved on our heating bills. Do not know about smoke!!

Depends on the size of your container and the temp of where you are using it. I'm gonna say that in general the answer to your question will be a definite "no". But if you are using a real small smoker and it's warm outside, it's possible. This is designed to be a cold smoker, though...not for heat.

Enough smoke escapes that I would not use it for indoors! This smoker is not a sealed unit.

maybe , dose your smoker have the square socket with the hole in the center?
