Know before you buy
With 548 square inches of cooking space spread across three racks, this unit is sized to handle a variety of meats and vegetables simultaneously. It is well-suited for a whole chicken, several racks of ribs, or a large brisket, making it a solid choice for family-sized meals.
Yes, the dial control allows you to adjust the temperature anywhere from 100°F to 400°F. This range gives you the flexibility to cold smoke items like cheese or fish at lower settings, or ramp up the heat for traditional hot smoking.
Cleanup is straightforward because the three chrome-plated steel racks are dishwasher safe. You can simply remove them after your cooking session and place them in the dishwasher, saving you from heavy scrubbing.
As an electric smoker, it relies on a 1500-watt heating element for power, so you do not need charcoal or propane. You will still need to add wood chips to the designated tray to generate the smoke and flavor profile you want for your food.
The cabinet-style design is built to be durable, but like most electric smokers, its performance in very cold or windy conditions can be impacted. For the most consistent results in chilly weather, try to place the unit in a sheltered area away from direct wind.
