Great little smoker!

Been using mine about four years now. Does just what it needs to at an affordable price. Beginning smoker fans will definitely be tempted, but need to realize that smoking is an art that takes time to develop. Don't let frustration get you down - if there was an easier way to get that 'smoked result, we'd all be doing it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Serves it Purpose!

I like the little pit. It was cheap, easy enough to put together, and has just enough room to cook what I need for my family of 4. Works great as grill, heats up really fast and doesn't require a lot of coals to cook a few hamburgers or hot dogs, but it burns up really quick. It's ok as a smoker but doesn't hold head very well in the smoking chamber and has a lot of leaks. I highly recommend buying a better temp gauge to give you a more accurate temp. Takes a little bit of playing with to learn how to maintain the heat, but once you figure it out, not hard to control. Also, don't use seasoned wood as fuel, only coals, or it will be too strong of a smoke because the chamber is so small and the smoke will be very concentrated. You can use a couple of small chunks to give the meat the desired flavor, once you start cooking. Fill the box with charcoal and light with a wax cube. Let it burn until it reaches the temp you want, and then adjust the air intake to try and maintain it. Then add your meat and don't wander off too long. Paint chips off easy, so you will need some grill paint too!

I've had this unit for 6 years and it's never failed me. Only had to replace the smoke box gates once, had held up well with proper maintenance. It's on the smaller side but does well for smoking up to 2-3 pound cuts.
