Customer Ratings & Reviews

Making smoked meats, nuts, cheese, salt, veggies, etc. has been so simple. Some experimentation is needed with the heat settings and the types of wood used for smoking, but because the smoker is very controllable and simple to use (due to being electrically heated), the experimentation phase was short and simple. There are three adjustable height racks, which are ample for smoking several foods simultaneously, thus using the heat and smoke very efficiently. Since the smoker is normally set to approximately 220°F, it also doubles as a slow cooker ... very nice when the wood chips stop emitting the smoke after a while. I love this smoker. It was a good investment.

Well...I did season the unit after assembly which was set on high for four hours; but will thaw the whole brisket to cook in October during an NFL Sunday when it cools off here in humid Louisiana. During the initial process it did get pretty hot according to the thermometer, so I know it will work well-except for the wood chip tray which will be straightforward. In meantime it behooves me to read up on manufacturer's guide and recipe books so as to be more prepared for the inaugural occasion. It is plenty sturdy and heavy, so I know it will be durable. Good price and I caught a whole brisket on sale last spring to boot. Finally, I loaded up on mesquite and hickory chips for the fall/winter that were closed out at a small general store for half price. So we can agree that I got set up for the entire process rather economically. It took a bit of research, planning and preparing since last spring when I was first shopping for wood smokers, but patience since then led to this purchase when I decided on this electric smoker when it was recently offered at a competitive price on the Deal of the Day; otherwise I would have picked up the assembled wood smoker at Lowe's for $99. I am now ready.

What a great deal for 99 bucks on sale! I have smoked brisket, ribs, all kinds of chicken, salmon, shredded beef, bbq beans, meatloaf and so much more! Consistent heat, smoke and moisture. I have even used it to slow roast without wood chips. Living in Florida I love to keep the heat out of my house in the summer. Plenty of space for pounds of meats. I am going to smoke my Thanksgiving turkey in this bad boy! Looking forward to a smoked mac & cheese on the side! Too bad it didn't come with a case of beer, you're going to want it while you smoke! Bon Appetite.

Likely wouldn't have purchased at normal price but this "$80 deal of the day", did the trick. I too had damage in transit but nothing that took away from the actual cooking process. Electric didn't sound appealing but it actually does a pretty good job. The only "but" is there just isn't enough smoke for my taste. Too compensate I wrap extra chips in foil, poke some holes in there and then lay it directly on top of the coil. Still not as smokey as desired but for the "set it and forget it" aspect, I will continue to use. Smoked salmon is next on the list. Oh yeah, I noticed it takes longer than expected to cook the meats. Ribs that should take 3-4 end up taking 5-6 hours. Oh yeah, I use the wire scrubbers to keep unwanted insects out of the smoker. Another great feature of this machine. Easy to plug the small openings. The air can still escape but nothing can crawl in..

I bought this because it was on sale and I needed an electric smoker. I was surprised how well it has worked. I bought it a month ago and used it over 10 times already with no issues. The locks on the side work great. The only downside is that if you are smoking a medium sized or more portion you have to put the power all the way up to get and stay on the smoke setting. It never goes higher then 250 degrees.

Awesome smoker for the money. Easy to use and keep clean. Maintains heat very well and cooks perfectly.

It take a while to get warm and never gets excessively hot - it's not terribly efficient. Large items of meat might take a considerable amount of time to cook through. It takes regular ol' woodchips (no need for the expensive pucks) and the food it produces is exception quality. I have no regrets over this purchase.

This smoker is so easy since you can set the dial and move on! Only took me 1 time of smoking to figure out where the dial should be to get the temp where I wanted it. Durable, reliable, and great smoker!

Good Product at a good price. I was not looking for a Smoker. J saw this one in your 1 day sales ad and decided that I wanted to try it. We tried it and loved the taste of the meat smoked in it. we use it a lot.

My first attempt was definitely a learning curve but now I have used it 4 times, I find it easier to use to get the desired results. Tr- Tip and salmon came out awesome!

I've owned several smokers over the years gas models and electric. Double wall construction. Did 2 20lb briskets same time. I got it for $69.99

This is my first smoker and I really like the fact it's so easy to set the temperature and it stays at the same temp the whole time your cooking.

This smoker is great! The price was good. It's easy to operate and it does a perfect job. Great piece of equipment to add to my deck.

Half hour to assemble one person only required a Philips. Compact vehicle design, spacious with a lot of extra room to cook.

If changing the wood chips was easier I'd give it a 5. Still probably the best 100 I've spent on any cooking equipment.

One of the best smokers I used. Only con about this smoker is that you need to refill the wood chips every hour.

Bought this on a deal of the day on a whim and I'm happy I did. Used it a number of times with great results.

This is my first smoker and I really like it, set the temperature and keep an eye on the time that's about it

This smoker is so easy to use my wife doesn't mind using it. I put it on a cart for ease of mobility.

Works as expected. Smokes all meats and fixed dialed temperature.
