This is awesome! We’ve tried ribs, butts, and turkey- cooks evenly and we love it

So happy I bought this smoker!

The product arrived on time and in good shape. Well packed and easy (only 16 screws) to put together. I called service center and the lady was very knowledgeable and easy to speak with. I've done ribs and a brisket, with great results. I used my own recipe dry rub and mesquite chips. I thought that it would take a long time to do but the brisket was done in about 6.5 hours and the ribs were done in about 7. Temperature was well maintained, but it is summer. We'll have to wait for winter to see if the cold weather affects it or not. Right now, I'm very happy though.

Very nice smoker

As described and very good build quality. I ordered the "iCOVER 600D Heavy Duty Canvas Water Proof All Weather Smoker Cover G21615" and it fit perfectly. Good combination.

This is a great smoker for the money

This is a great smoker for the money. My only regret is that I wish I spent a little more and got the digital one because I use a smoke tube and it seems to cause temperature fluctuations. it would be nice if the unit automatically kept a preset temperature, but of course in order to have that feature you need the digital version. I cannot take away a star from the product because this is not meant to have a smoke tube in it, you are supposed to use the wood chip tray. Otherwise it holds the temperature perfectly.

Great smoker, so far

I bought this to replace 2 Masterbuilt smokers, which failed due to burned out heating elements. On one, the element was not replaceable, and on the second, I bought a new element and replaced it myself., What a long hard effort! This element also burned out after 6 months or so. I will never buy another Masterbuilt smoker again! As for this Char-Broil unit, I am impressed with its heavy duty construction, and most of all, the heating element which is easily replaceable if it should fail. I smoked a turkey breast yesterday, and it came out wonderful! The heat control is analog, which takes a little getting used to when setting the temperature (the Masterbuilt digital control has an edge here). Also you can add more smoke chips without opening the door on the Masterbuilt, but you have to open the door on the Char-Broil to do so. The Char-Broil is also better insulated, and has 2 heavy duty door latches, compared with the Masterbuilt. Even if the price were the same I would definitely buy the Charbroil over the Masterbuilt, but the Charbroil is also much less expensive. Win-win!

Very consistent cook

I used to be a charcoal guy but I am dabbling in sausage production at some volume now and switched to electric for the consistency and low maintenance. I bought this unit to be my test kitchen and to use casually for cooking for my church. It's has a spacious chamber and is easy to put together. It's well made and solid. I've bought Charbroil before when I used charcoal smokers and was pleased with the brand. Let me talk about my first cook. Even though I bought it for sausages and volume items like pulled pork and brisket, the first thing I cooked in it was a whole chicken. I read the manual beforehand, having never used an electric unit before. So, I followed the manufacturer's recommendations a day before to run for 2-3 hrs. to burn off the oils used in the manufacturing process. I had brined the chicken overnight and put it in the unit at about 11. I took it off to rest at 3:30 and it was well-cooked (and delectable). The unit produced consistent smoke and the temperature was rock steady. I was quite pleased. My only suggestion would be to supply a fourth (the unit comes with 3) cooking grate, since there is room and even rails for it in the chamber and it would certainly be useful for ribs or smoked fish.

Great!

Perfect! I bought this for my fiance's birthday and he loves it! The wood tray is a bit small and we have to change wood periodically while smoking things but other than that, it is an amazing smoker!

Great

Fantastic smoker. Best one I have ever owned.

Great smoker

The first food I smoked is the Thanksgiving turkey. It came out great. I bought a duel probe rf meat thermometer that make it even simpler. I had to add chips about every hour and a half.

Time for rehab!

Since I bought this smoker, I can’t stop! My family says I have a problem, but I can quit any time I want. They also say it’s odd for me to ask neighbors if they have anything I can smoke. I’m just being polite!
