 Smokes, but takes a lot of work Oct 23, 2010
By crestview codger
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.

 Brinkmann left something out Jun 13, 2011
By astanfo
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.

 Brinkmann Smoker May 26, 2009
By S. Anderson
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!

 great grill Jul 24, 2010
By pennypinching shopper
I purchased one of these about 15 months ago, during that period of time we have used it at least once a day for nine of those months - many days it was twice. The element has finally gone out. Given the abuse compared to what I had paid for it I am satisfied with it's performance. It would cook a quarter pound burger in twelve minutes. Large frozen chicken breasts in about half an hour. So it has been used and abused. The smoker itself looks nice, is quick to put together and start using. We did smoke something in it initially and it did well, but loved it's performance as a grill.

This is HORRIBLE Sep 28, 2010
By Sucker Shopper
This is a waste of money. Nothing on this grill fits right. The top falls thru the base of the grill. It stinks. It arrived with no fitting parts, the seller would not respond to inquiries for help. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS OR DEAL WITH THIS VENDOR.
