Holds Heat even in winter time(Texas)

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the thick walls on the unit. I live in Texas and I have plugged this thing in 30-40 degrees a couple of times and cook a beer can chicken and I have done a brisket in it during that time. The bigger briskets. yes I had to cut in half but unit worked good. Summer time is a given, but to be able to cook in a Texas "winter" was a bonus. Wood chips are loaded from the side so you don't have to open up the unit and lose valuable heat. For so...

Simple and Effective

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great tool to have when you value tasty smoked meat over the popularity of expensive pellet grill smokers. It’s a box that holds smoke and maintains a consistent temperature, and it does this very well. Quality smoked meat doesn’t need much more than that so save your money and learn your craft instead. Highly recommend this smoker.

Great smoke flavor

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I changed over to electricity from a stick burner. I was afraid I would lose the deep smoke flavor but all the worry was wasted. I had never been able to get my old offset stick burner to do a good job on a whole brisket. I got pretty proficient with pork and poultry but the elusive brisket was always my nemesis. The grease tray was sufficient for chicken, turkey and pork loin and butts. When it came to the brisket however, the small tray was...

Wonderful product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this smoker at a charity auction so I had low expectations. Boy, was I surprised. From the moment I opened the box and began the assembly process I was sold. Assembly was straightforward with no surprises. I had used conventional smokers in the past but this was new to me. I followed the operational instructions to the letter and had no problem with my first attempt- trout filets. They were wonderful! I look forward to many more wonder...

Easy to use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased mine two years ago. It’s easy to use and works great. I wish now I had to 40 inch instead of the 30 inch so it would make it easier to smoke large racks of ribs.
