Little Smoker,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Char Broil American Gourmet (Lawn & Patio)
This smoker is a small version of one a friend of mine purchased at Home Depot. I didn't purchase the larger one because it is extremely heavy. This smoker is very light and easy to put together. It does an adequate job of smoking fish and other smaller items. The negative things I have found are: (1) the firebox seems to get very hot on the left side near the air vent but the fire tends to burn slowly or go out on the right side, away from the air vent; (2) the thin construction of the unit makes for uneven temperatures throughout the indirect cooking part of the unit and (3) I have only used the unit five times and the paint is peeling extensively from the firebox container. I would say that the unit is worth the price and is a decent trade-off if you are looking for a lightweight unit. For smoking things like turkeys, however, I would recommend the larger, heavier unit.

I first saw this smoker while camping. The people next to me had one. They raved about it,so I bought one. First thing I had to do was go the Ace hardware and buy a sheet of steel grating to keep the charcoal from falling through the one provided.($20.00)It is working good after that, however to much heat on the fire box side.I'm going to fabricate a piece of sheet metal over it to lower the heat flow.I think I will be in business after that. Like other reviews said the paint burns off after first use. That does'nt bother me. I just want good food. One suggestion is to use more wood than charcoal.(tastier results)I do like it.

Worked great for me,

This review is from: Char Broil American Gourmet (Lawn & Patio)
I have used this smoker a few times and have not had any trouble. Considering what I paid for it and its size, I did not expect it to be perfect, or competing in barbecue contests. It is a small, basic, offset firebox smoker, plain and simple. For my purposes it has worked just fine and I have found that with a little care, the paint on mine is not peeling as the other reviewers have noted.
