Enjoy slow-cooked barbecue and authentic smokehouse flavor with this top-of-the-line electric smoker and grill. Perfect for large gatherings, it comes equipped with two chrome-plated steel cooking grills that can hold up to 50 pounds of food. Cook a ham on one level and a chicken on the other. Both the top and bottom grill levels cook at about the same temperature, so when cooking different types or cuts of meat at the same time, place the meat that cooks the fastest on the top grill for simple removal. The unit's stable base contains a 1500-watt heating element and lava rocks for powerful, consistent heat, while its dome lid effectively keeps in the heat. Other highlights include stay-cool wooden handles, a front-hinged door for convenient access to the porcelain-coated steel water pan, a separate base pan for easy cleaning and set-up, and a lightweight design at just 28 pounds. A heavy-duty outdoor vinyl cover and an instruction manual come included. The UL-listed electric smoker and grill measures 17 by 17 by 35 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Shoddy workmanship, June 5, 2008

By	Sandra B. Burns (Little Rock, AR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although I have previously owned a similar Brinkman Elcetric Smoker with a temp control dial and a thermometer, this new smoker appears to have been designed and built by people who have virtually no idea of the word craftsmanship. Besides having a missing part from the sealed plastic bag, I had to bend all three handles so I could line up the pre-drilled screw holes. I had to jerryrig a missing V clip--a support for the water pan. Because of all this, it took more than two hours to assemble. Shoddy workmanship, no temp gage, and no heat control make it a reach for me to even give this smoker two stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars 2/3 of a smoker, half a company., July 2, 2005

By	Mac Coder (Tulsa, OK USA) - See all my reviews

1. Unit was incomplete -- middle rack supports missing from _sealed_ parts bag inside _sealed_ manufacturer carton. Had nine extra sets of screws and nuts, however, probably to make the bag pass a weight-test.

800 parts number only open during business hours on weekdays, and no way to order missing parts on the Brinkmann website. General impression is shoddy QC, and no attempt to compensate by making obtaining missing parts easy.

2. No temperature control, and unregulated temperature way high for true barbecue smoking (should be 210-230F, was somewhere north of 300F).

3. IF this unit had a thermostat, or some other intrinsic means of regulating the temperature, it might be OK. As it is, I am basically going to have to redesign it in order to make it minimally useful.

4. OTOH, it was cheap, ($59.95US at Lowe's) and even after enhancing it with extra parts (an oven thermostat) it will probably still cost less than than a "real" smoker.

IF this unit had possessed competent temperature control and all of its parts, it would be a 4-5 star bargain. As it is, it is pretty awful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Smoker for Ribs, July 9, 2006

By	Donald R. Smith (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We have a Brinkmann 810-7080-7 Gourmet Electric Smoker & Grill and when using it the first time we were really impressed with the end product, pork spareribs. We put a dry rub on the ribs including:
1=McCormick Grill Mates, Mesquite
2=Garlic Salt
3= Onion Salt
4=Lemon Pepper
We put blocks of Hickery wood around the electric coil in the bottom of the smoker. We are not sure if the ribs had either a Mesquite or Hickkery smoke flavor, but they were outstanding.
