3.0 out of 5 stars Smokes, but takes a lot of work, October 23, 2010

This review is from: Brinkmann 810-7080-K Electric Gourmet Grill and Smoker (Lawn & Patio)

I've used this electric smoker many times, and it gets the job done, but a problem is the lack of control of heat. The electric unit just plugs in with no dial for selecting heat. It would always hover around only 200 degrees, which is too low for correct smoking (most of the time 220 to 250 degrees is desired. So after several tries of smoking and having to finish up the meat in the oven, I tried a remedy. I bought a water heater insulation kit and used it to insulate the round body of the smoker and lid to try to raise the temp. It worked, maybe too good. Now the temp stays at 300 degrees, a little to high for my tastes. I may try to remove some of the insulation to bring the temp into the 250 degree "sweet spot" range. I've also considered just getting a gas smoker with adjustable heat. Be warned, this unit works OK except for the lack of temperature adjustment.

Product shipped in orig box with no packing matl so bent in shipping but still usable. If instructions say item will take 4 hrs to smoke, it will take 8 hrs so put item in in a.m., smoke all day, and it should be done when you get home from work!

This smoker has one fatal flaw, there's no way to turn the heat up or down, Brinkmann says it's made to be a constant 250 degrees but mine was burning as high as 375. We gave it a shot anyways and it smoked a 10 pound butt in 8 hours (should have been 12). I called Brinkmann and they offered to send me a new heat element but I decided this was the wrong smoker. Also you place the wood on top of the lava rocks next to the heater, not only did I have to get another bag of wood chunks about 4 hours in, it's a pain the clean the ash mixed with the lava rocks. I replaced it with the Brinkmann Verticial Electric Smoker, it was about twice the price and twice the value.
