very slow and inaccurate. It helped me burn a few pieces of good meat.

Upon first time using it smelled bad like it was burining and then a little smoke came out near the dial. I left it alone for awhile then turned it back on and it was fine. Kept the food warm, I only wish i had more reasons to use it.

Other then the initial turn on, it has worked pretty good. Maybe some plastic was in there. But maybe a warning or a FYI should be given

I live in Texas and thought this would be a bridging mechanism until I find the smoker I want.  I followed instructions and in grilling chicken slowly on my Weber gas grill it really did give a nice smoke flavor.  I returned to use it on burgers but used the old wood chips that were not soaked in water. with the drippings and flame out then were engulfed in flames so make sure you soak them.  Cook slow to give it a chance. Worked reasonably well on ribs.

I bought it primarily to smoke food.  I do this by filling a 7inch skillett with wood chips and setting it on the burner.  I started with the dial on minimum heat, and gradually increased until the stuff smoldered properly.

Does produce some great food, my only critique is that the wood burner is kind of weak.  Needs to be checked once every couple of hours, wood in the small container inside the system does not burn evenly, and even after smoking meats for 10-12 hours, I can only get a moderately smokey taste at best.  I don't regret the purchase, I just wish it was a little better at keeping in smoke to flavor the food.

My old flavorizer bars were rusty and had holes in them. I wasn't getting good grill marks on my meat. I replaced the old bars and it now I am getting good grill marks again.

Used this several times and it seems to do what was promised. Meat cooked quicker and when meat was swathed with herbs the herb flavor was more intense.

It works great! Just killed two deer, and used it to tenderize the chicken fried steaks. They were tender and delicious, yum!!

This stuff was actually pretty good. It takes some work to cook it all up though so you might not want it as a quick backpacking meal.

I'm new to smoking meat. My first attempt turn out really well. I think I'm going to use it a lot.

i had my doubts but it actually works pretty good! there is a little bit of technique needed but after pitting a small basket of cherries, i got the hang of it.

Over the last couple of years I have been doing pulled pork and ribs on my gas grill.  I knew I wanted to get a smoker.  I finally pulled the trigger this year and am glad I have.  At this point I have made ribs and smoked a chicken.  Both were incredible, far better than what I have produced previously!

The smoked chicken I did was so tender I barely got it off of the grill and it tasted fantastic.  That alone was worth the price of the smoker.

I am still learning the ins and outs of how to get the right amount of smoke and control the temperature correctly.  Now I want to smoke every chance I get.

This has been a great smoker to cut my teeth on and I look forward to many years of smoking.

Works very well when smoking chicken or ribs on a gas grill.

You can put this in the meat on the grill and go about your business.  It will allow you to monitor the temp from afar and not overcook the meat, like we often do when we think it needs "just a little longer".  Liberating!!

Gets a bit gummed up from the meat and needs to be disassembled and cleared out a bit frequently for my liking, but it works its little heart out.

Bought this from a local store, but at the time I ordered this, they were out of it. I did an injection on a whole chicken before placing it on the smoker. I will say the chicken didn't last long. It work great on some smoked pork or some beef brisket.
