Got this as a gift and was a bit skeptical... with just a little practice and some patience and trials, I was able to produce some of the best smoked BBQ'd meats we've had. Fish, turkey, brisket, baby-back-ribs, St Louis ribs, roasts.... I keep trying and improving the results. It is fun and challenging and the results are worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

BEGINNER AT SMOKING YET I DOVE RIGHT IN WITH 3 RACKS OF RIBS AND A PORK LOIN. 6 HRS. LATER THE VICTIMS I INVITED OVER FOR DINER WERE OVERWHELMED BY THE RESULTS. TASTY AND JUICY WITH A PERFECT SMOKE RING IS WHAT THEY GOT. VERY EASY TO USE. YOU'LL GET GREAT RESULTS KNOWING THAT SMOKING REQUIRES PATIENCE. THE CLEANUP WAS VERY EASY AS THE GRILLS WERE WASHED WITH JUST SOAP AND WATER. CONSTANT MONITORING OF THE WATER LEVEL IS A NECESSITY. SECOND ATTEMPT WAS THE FRESH KIELBASI I MADE. HUNG THE RINGS ON A WOOD DOWEL ACROSS THE SMOKER AND THEY CAME OUT GREAT. CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THE SALMON AND WHITING ON JULY 4TH.

Do not like the combination of water and chip/smoker container as well as the previous model with separate water pan and cast iron chip/smoker box. Water evaporates rapidly, making it harder to maintain constant temp. Do like the separate tray so that you do not have to open main door and lose heat

I have had this smoker for 2 years. I use this all year round. I just increase smoking time in winter months for here in NE. I am totally impressed how well it does. I did add a water pan on lower rack. AS water gets used rapidly, 45-60 minutes. But, my smoking is never neglected. I did an 18# turkey, ribs (many) Brisket, sausage, pepperoni, bacon. Have yet to be disappointed!

works beautifully. does not get too hot so no need to worry there. The biggest thing was the water was gone in no time. Then read the Manuel page 6 Put the wood chips or chunks in the bowl not the water! water goes around the wood chips. LOL was funny how many was doing it the same as us. WRONG WAY,

I have owned several Char-Broil vertical smokers over the years. They hold up well and have a descent life expectancy. If there is a weak link it is in the gas regulator. It requires more flow on windy days!

I purchased this product 1 year ago (approx.) and loved it right out of the box. If you make sure your water tray does not get too low it is fantastic. It does have some trouble getting up to 225 F when you use the water tray full but it can be done.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Used the smoker 3 times since I bought it and it is everything I could have hoped for! I did a brisket, some ribs, and smoked some sausages. They all came out great!
