I've tried them all, wood, electric, charcoal, gas, you name it. But this little smoker is "the Bomb". Wish I'd found it hundreds of dollars ago. Even a first timer will get great results using this smoker. Friends are supplying the ribs if I will smoke them in my smoker for a cookout. Can't beat that! Free ribs!

This Smoker packs a lot of punch!

This little thing is a beast. I am very impressed with this smoker. I live in Montreal and recently it has been anywhere from -25 to -42 celcius, and this thing still cooked up great pork butts, and ribs in the same time you would expect in the summer. It comes with 2 racks, but fits 3, I recommend ordering a 3rd rack, look at the fish rack, it works great for snack sticks too. I also recommend the cover, and the wood chip cover, it allows you the option to cook with chips instead of chunks if thats all you have. I researched smokers for about 4 months before deciding on this one, and i'm very happy with my decision. Also, the amount of food that can be cooked at one time is deceiving. I fit a 10 pound pork butt on the bottom shelf, and above it had room for mac n cheese and some ABT's, and still could have fit in a few more pounds of meat. Definitely a quality made product.

I have had this smoker for over a year, and it is the best smoker I have ever used. It is so easy to use, my wife wants to use it on a regular basis. You can smoke everything from Thanksgiving Turkey to Mac & Cheese. We liked it so much we bought one for my Dad for Christmas.

I ordered the unit on a Friday and recieved it on the following Wednesday. Seasoned it that night and had it ready for the weekend smoke. Did a 12lb Brisket as the maiden voyage and it turned out great. Very easy to use and clean up. I'm thinking about another already. Thanks for the great unit and the quick delivery. One year later, I have been using this unit at least once a month for the last year, it still works great and gives good heat and smoke. I can cook 17 pounds of pork shoulder in 17 hours to 190 degrees without worrying about having to check the unit every half hour or so like my propane unit needed. Very good product, I would recommend for anyone.

My unit arrived within 48 hours of ordering with a hand signed letter thanking me for my purchase. I broke in the smoker per the instructions.
I attempted to cook two very meaty pork back ribs for my first attempt. After four hours of smoking, the ribs were cooked, but still not tender. I will try one more hour next time.
The following week I smoked two bone-in pork chops for 3hrs 15min and they came out good. They seemed warm but not hot.
I tried a 8lb pork shoulder that I smoked for 9 1/2 hours at 250F. The internal temperature was at 160F. Next time I will try 1.5lbs per hour or longer. I think it will help.
Overall I am impressed with construction and set up with the racks and rack holders. I wish was deeper so I could put full slabs of ribs into it. The smoker #3 was just too big for my needs. I will still do some more experimenting and get this little guy dialed in.
Buy This Smoker!!! 
Good little unit
