Our son & family bought this for us & we were so thrilled about it. But, after using it 4 times we returned it because it didn't smoke since the vents were open instead of being adjustable for how much smoke you wanted to taste in your meat. The food always tasted like it had just been cooked in our oven but we wanted a smoker because we have an oven.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're very sorry to hear this. We value you as a Char-Broil customer and want you to enjoy using your smoker. Was a case created with us? Whenever an issue is encountered please give us a call at 1-800-241-7548 and we will be able to best assist.
Material not as heavyweight as expected. Appears well constructed. Snug fit. No grommet holes on base to secure it, so will probably use a bungee cord. With smoker on stand, the cover won't protect the stand's legs, lower stand shelf or items left on that shelf. (I would suggest grabbing a bottle of touch-up paint for the stand... but that's another review)
will be using later this week, smoker cover, and wood chips, great price, a little time for delivery, cover is nice, cant wait to cover her up, after her next smoke!
Been wanting a smoker and chose this one due to the larger chip box. I like the way you set and forget. The probe is the best way to cook chicken or big pieces of meat. I di prepare baby back ribs by the 3-2-1 method and they were the best I had ever had. Pretty easy clean up and will get a lot of use .
