Fantastic Product, 04/22/2009
This was so easy to assemble (I purchased online not at a store)!!! Has 2 racks you can adjust easily and easy to clean IF you follow the directions on how to season it. I am recommending it to everyone I know that uses a smoker for anything.

It did what it was made for. I think the charcoal pan needs holes in it to make it more effective. To burn better and complete and have less unburned charcoal.

overall good product, 10/07/2009
I have used both this smoker as well as the green Brinkman smoker in BBQ competitions. It never lets me down. Neither are that great for grilling but then again that is not what they are made for.

The only suggestion I would make is, take about an 1/8 inch drill bit and put several holes in the ash pans of both of these. the fire does not get enough oxygen otherwise and requires much unnecessary work.

I recommend this smoker. You must drill six to eight holes in the bottom of the charcoal pan enable to get the heat up over 200 degrees and to maintain this heat for cooking. Otherwise there is not enough heat. You truly can be a great smoke cook with this one. Buy it and find out.

Great value, 09/08/2009
Easy to assemble. I did swap out the stock charcoal pan for one with air holes and added a quality temperature gauge as the one that came with the unit arrived broken. After seasoning the unit as directed, I fired it up and smoked a beef roast, pork ribs and some sausage. It maintained an even temperature throughout with only minor adjustments to the air vents. The dual doors make it super easy to add charcoal and wood and to apply a mop to your meat. Overall this is a great entry level smoker at a great price.

Super easy to assemble. Used Site to Store and arrived within a week of ordering online. Smoker is bigger than I thought it was going to be which is not a bad thing at all. Works great and smoke doesn't escape from the doors. Used to have a barrel-style smoker with a lid on the top and smoke would leak all the time. Very happy with this purchase.
