Suggestion to keep temperature down. To those who are having a hard time controlling the temperature, I recommend putting a needle valve(available at hardware stores)where the hose attaches to the regulator. The needle valve allows you to fine tune the amount of gas going to the smoker. After doing this I had no trouble controlling the temperature to make summer sausage. No support from Amazon or manufacturer Don't waste your time on this one. I got this from Amazon for Christmas. While assembling I noticed several dents in the outside, but figured I could deal with these. However, the water tray was missing. According to the paperwork, it said not to work with the retailer, but call the manufacturer for a replacement. I called them and they told me they would ship me one out, but that it could take a while so I should just go buy some tray / pan that fits in there and use that instead. Why should I have to spend more money to get around their error?? Anyway, here it is 5 1/2 months later and still no tray and no use on my smoker. I have again called the manufacturer and they told me they wouldn't get the part in for a couple more months, and that I wouldn't be able to use the smoker until then. I asked if they could give me a better option and they said that was all they could do. I finally got fed up with the manufacturer and called Amazon. They told me that I could have gotten a PARTIAL refund if I had called within 30 days, but they wouldn't do anything now. Neither the manufacturer nor Amazon will do anything to support this product and I'm stuck with a $170 hunk of tin. Go spend your money on a company that will actually back up their product. Great! I purchased this for my boyfriend's birthday. He absolutely adores it, and it produces some amazing smoked meat dishes! :-) Smoken' Hot! I got this smoker for my husband at Christmas and he claims it's the best present he's ever received. It's great for simply doing a small amount of food for two people or a huge amount for 4th of July parties. All of our neighbors salivate when this things fired up, pumping irresistible aromas across the block.
His only complaint is that a full rack of ribs is hard to place in comfortably. He usually chops several in half. Use a bread pan with punctured foil for smoking chips rather than the small smoker box that comes with it for best results. The manual that comes with contains basic information but it's best to go online to some easily found expert websites for hints and tips.
Foil line the drip pan for much easier clean up. We've gotten rave compliments on our smoked food from this! smoker I bought this smoker awhile back and used it a lot great smoker for the price.Lougee Knox NH
