Great smoker for the price,
By Water Monkey "Marc B." (Santa Clarita, Ca.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brinkmann 810-7080-4 Gourmet Electric Smoker and Grill, Red (Lawn & Patio)
I chose this smoker mainly because I found it on sale at one of the home improvement warehouses for only $69.00!. I chose electric because I like the idea that the temp remains constant. The downside is that the temp is not adjustable. On a cool day the temp seems to hover at 225 F which is nice for longer smokes. The documentation says it should be smoking between 250F - 275F. I don't think it can get that high because of some minor issues in its shape.The smoker has no intentional venting. However, the drum of my unit is not perfectly round; it is oblong. This causes two gaps about 12" in length and about 1/4" wide at its widest point. At first I was concerned with this, but after tasting a brisket and 2 chickens I have smoked, I like the results. I have yet to try the unit on a hot day so it will be interesting to see what the temperature rises to. I also wish the unit was built with a thermometer to read the temp. If you can find one of these for cheap, grab it. This is a great intro unit to smoking. I hope I get 3-5 years out of it and then I will upgrade to an insulated unit (if I am still smoking. BTW, this can double as a small grill.

I bought the smoker for $69.00 on sale. It is a great unit for smoking if you do not want to invest hundreds of dollars. Electric unit so you do not have to fight charcoal and propane. It can also be used as a grill and I am starting to like better than the gas grill. More flavor in the meat if you use wood. I have smoked turkey, ribs, brisket and a 20 lb Boston Butt in the smoker. It would be tricky to cook fifty ponds of food at one time. 20-30lbs a time is no problem at all though
