Burgers and wings came out great! Would recommend.

I recently started using the Cuisinart 18-Inch Vertical Smoker, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my cooking routine. This smoker is perfect for anyone who enjoys smoking meats and vegetables, offering a blend of ease and impressive results. The 18-inch size provides plenty of space for various foods without being too bulky. The vertical design promotes even heat and smoke distribution, ensuring your food comes out consistently delicious. Setting it up and using it is straightforward. It heats up quickly and maintains a steady temperature. The adjustable racks are a useful feature, allowing for flexibility based on what you’re smoking. One drawback is the built-in thermometer, which isn’t very accurate. While it’s a nice feature in theory, I find it’s better to use an external thermometer for more reliable temperature readings. Cleaning is a breeze with removable trays and a drip pan that makes handling any mess easy. The overall build feels sturdy and well-constructed. Overall, the Cuisinart 18-Inch Vertical Smoker offers great performance and flavorful results. Despite the less reliable thermometer, it’s a solid choice for anyone looking to enjoy quality smoking at home. Highly recommended!

It is very reasonably priced. However not worth it. Poor design and poor construction. Starting from the top down. The vent does not close completely. The grate holders were pre-installed crooked. The door handle latch is useless. Does not stay shut. Door is rusting. Latches are flimsy, bent immediately and rusting after 1 week outside. The preinstalled hooks for latches were installed crooked making hard to latch. The water bowl cannot be removed without spilling water every where. No room to grab or lift. The bottom air vent fills up with ash, thus defeating the purpose.

Good Smoker has a big learning curve though, I made a brisket and came out great
