I bought the burner to temporarily place in my barbeque for smoking five 2# blocks of sharp cheddar cheese for gifting my daughters. Aluminum foil, a steel pan and the smoking pellets (I use apple wood) make the actual smoking setup. A wire rack to set the cheese on next to the smoker setup. Quite simple and easy to use. Just remember to tent foil off the burner so that the cheese can't 'see' the burner. Make sure the barbeque is off and fully cooled. We only use the barbeque as a smoke container - we never turn the barbeque on, never. Never turn the barbecue on during smoking. Always use a cooled barbeque to begin smoking. Also when done smoking always remember the wood pellets in the steel pan are burning. Let them burn in a safe location. Do not pour water on the burning wood pellets in the steel pan while they are sitting on the ELECTRIC burner. If you must, unplug the ELECTRIC burner then pour water on the wood pellets in the steel pan. I place the burner on the barbeque rack on one side. I fill the steel pan with how much smoking pellets I want to use (usually ½ to ¾ full of pellets and NO WATER) and fold a doubled over layer of aluminum foil to seal the pan with pellets. Make the doubled over aluminum foil sufficient long so after folding like a top pie crust on the pan, it can be directed out and down the shield the burner element from the cheese. Put five or six random small ⅛ inch or so holes in the doubled over aluminum foil on top of and sealing the pan to let the smoke out. I don't want the aluminum foil to melt or bump something and short out so mine hangs out and down below the burner but does not ever actually touch the burner. But it can be very close (¼ inch away) just not touching the burner. Place the cheese on a cooking oil sprayed wire rack or stainless wire splash screen far away from the aluminum foil sealed, apple wood pellet partially filled smoke maker pan and burner (also inside the barbeque just on the extreme other side of the inside of the barbeque). Turn the burner to about '6' to get the wood pellets to burn then drop the burner down to #2 to #4 to sustain burning and smoking. Close the lid on the barbecue and let it smoke away. The barbecue will warm some from the smoking energy. I do my cheese smoking when it is cool outside (preferably less than 55°F). This helps keep the cheese from melting. I notice a lot of smoke wafting from the barbeque and that is normal. When it is in the 40's outside, I place something over the barbeque to slow the loss of smoke to retain some heat in the burning smoke pellets pan. A plastic large lawn bag over the barbeque helps retain the smoke and keep things going on a cold day. I generally smoke with as cool a smoke as possible by doing it on a cool day out of the sun or preferably at night. I let the smoke go for at least ½ hour, but usually 1 hour. I smoke raw meat the same way and at the same time. Just position the meat closest to the burner and keep it and it's drips off the cheese. Don't put the cheese on the bloody rack. That's it. In the morning after everything is cooked down, I remove the burner and wipe it down, I remove the pan to the sidewalk. Remove the aluminum foil and fill the burnt pellets in the pan with water and let the burnt wood pellets soak in the steel pan underwater for an hour stirring occasionally to ensure any microembers are extinguished. Then I place the burnt wood pellets in a steel container STEEL CONTAINER away from the house, car, outbuildings, etc. And on garbage day the the garbage cans to the curb then decanted the water off into the grass and dumped the extinguished and soaked burnt smoking pellets directly into the garbage can AT THE CURB away from cars, trailers, etc. The charred wood pellets help deodorize the garbage can.
This is an electric burner review and it works perfectly, controllably, stable, and reliably to smoke cheese inside a closed lid barbeque. I can only imagine how well it will work operating as it was designed to as a burner on the table.

Convenient and efficient
My glass cooktop is inconvenient and high maintenance, so this hot plate was purchased to simplify heating up food, or making a quick dish. As the temperature rises, unit briefly times out, then clicks back on to maintain selected temperature setting.
