I love the Big Chief Smoker
I had owned a combination smoker. It was a stainless steal tower that had a propane burner in the bottom and a disk for charcoal above that and a water tray and a pair of steel meat racks above all of the burner stuff. It is a nice unit. It is not a smoker unit. It was sold as a smoker unit. You could not control the temp enough to slow cook or smoke a piece of meat...

Not good for a Pork Shoulder.....
This is a great smoker if you are going to be smoking Sausage, Chicken, Jerky, Fish, etc... but if you are going to be smoking a Pork Shoulder, it doesnt get quite hot enough, I have had to add a additional element for it to get up to 225, had I known that it didnt get nearly hot enough, I would have gone a different route.

Not good for a Pork Shoulder....., February 27, 2010
This review is from: Smokehouse Products Big Chief Front Load Smoker (Sports)
This is a great smoker if you are going to be smoking Sausage, Chicken, Jerky, Fish, etc... but if you are going to be smoking a Pork Shoulder, it doesnt get quite hot enough, I have had to add a additional element for it to get up to 225, had I known that it didnt get nearly hot enough, I would have gone a different route. For the weekend Jerky maker, its great, for the professional cook that wants to bang out some BBQ and not think about the Saturday night dinner rush, find a old fridge or metal trash can and build it yourself...

I love the Big Chief Smoker, February 12, 2010
This review is from: Smokehouse Products Big Chief Front Load Smoker (Sports)
I had owned a combination smoker. It was a stainless steal tower that had a propane burner in the bottom and a disk for charcoal above that and a water tray and a pair of steel meat racks above all of the burner stuff. It is a nice unit. It is not a smoker unit. It was sold as a smoker unit. You could not control the temp enough to slow cook or smoke a piece of meat slowly without a lot of supervision. I mean a lot of supervision. The temp would go up and down. What I love about the Big Chief is that it is a smoker. I can put any product in it I want to smoke and not worry about over cooking. I smoke hams, turkey etc in the Big Chief and then bring them into the kitchen oven to bake. I have control. I control the amount of smoke, I control the baking.
The Big Chief has been very predictable for jerky and for sausages. We are getting spoiled by the summer sausage done in the Big Chief.
I would guess that anyone reading this testimonial has spent some bucks on cookers and so called smokers. I tell you this is the real deal. It works. It is priced under all the others. You will be thrilled with the control you have to smoke foods.

VERY GOOD FOR INEXPENSIVE, July 30, 2010
This review is from: Smokehouse Products Big Chief Front Load Smoker (Sports)
SUSPECT A BIG ITEM, LIKE PORK SHOULDER, WOULDN'T WASH, BUT I DON'T DO LARGE HEAVY ITEMS IN A SMALLISH CHEAP SMOKER. HOWEVER, I'M AN ALASKAN COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN AND I SMOKE SALMON, HALIBUT AND BLACK COD WITH GREAT SUCCESS WITH THIS UNIT [ALSO RAZOR CLAMS, DRY MY SHUCKED WALNUTS ETC.]..FOURTH CHIEF [FIRST WERE LITTLE CHIEFS] I'VE HAD TO BUY IN 40+ YEARS [YES, AS SAID 'CHEAP'] BUT THE HOMEMADE WONDERFUL ONE IS FAR TOO BIG FOR SMALL [7 SOCKEYE, SAY] PRODUCTION AND THIS CHEAPO DOES GREAT!
