Love this smoker, cord could be a bit longer.
Nice smoker
June 22, 2017
Trial and error, but it's working well
It will reach 350 degrees, unlike some other brands.
April 5, 2017
Cons:* No vents mean that creosote builds up fast and create a bitter flavor in the cooked food. If you don't wash it out frequently, you will have a bitter creosote flavor that permeates the cooked food.*Pulling out the wood chips container while the smoker is cooking is extremely dangerous as there is no handle. Thus you have to manuver it with tongs and and a hot pad. This is a skin burn waiting to happen.* Heat does not remain constant. Temperatures fluctuate for no apparent reason.* Apparently, the interior is lead lined, which may or may not cause cancer. CharBroil is not forthcoming about this issue.* Will not produce smoke at low temperature setting.*Drip pan container is tipsy and does NOT CATCH DRIPS!Sadly, other similarly priced brands are not much better.

Great value. Door does not quite fit well since magnet is not strong enough to keep it shut tottaly.
I am new to smoking but I was pleased with the results

I have used it one time. I am new to smoking but I was pleased with the results. A small recipe book would have been nice to be included along with the instructions.
Easy to assemble and use
August 4, 2015
Easy to assemble and use. Door has a slight problem staying completely shut, but if you're careful, it works. No worries about heat source or constant temperature with the electric model.

... arrived the door was bent so it doesn't close like it should
June 20, 2017
When the item arrived the door was bent so it doesn't close like it should. Also it needs a bigger water tray. Have to keep putting water in very often to keep it smoking.
Ehhh
July 31, 2016
Smokes food good. Had for about a month and the thermometer broke. Also the door is not alligned right so it's sometimes tricky to close. Kind sucks
Good once you get some airflow
January 26, 2016
Works good but needs work. It has no air flow adjustment so smoking at low temp is hard. I ended up putting a wood chip in the top magnetic latch to get a little opening to let some air in and smoke out and it produced smoke at much lower temp (180). Thinking about trying to add a chimney somehow.

March 16, 2015
I should have read the reviews before ordering this unit, as other have said no kind of recipe book or instructions for seasoning the unit included, pretty cheap of the company if you ask me i have had many smokers in my day and this is the first one ever with nothing included, no recipes no small bag of wood chips, total cheap and for what you get your paying top dollar, unit itself is not to bad it came with some damage, door corner is smashed in and side was bulged out, the sides pushed back together but the door is totaled however it seems to hold heat and closes,be fore warned wood pan has no handle and is small so replacing wood chips and getting rid of old ash will be a nightmare,also unless you like smoking at 300+ degrees use lower settings medium puts it at over 350 and I am currently in Northern Michigan.for fish thats a bit too high a temp to get a good smoke flavor, but that temp has benefits for other things. all in all its a functional unit but company is obviously very cheap,kind of a shame too because i will be buying a grill here next month i sure wont be getting a char broil brand what else have they gone cheap on in construction i cannot see yet they cant even include a basic instruction manual!

Came with a couple dents, leaks smoke around door
Not Good enough!
March 2, 2014
Tried to smoke 9 turkey legs for a party....12 hrs later,the highest the temp went was 150 degrees in High Setting,highest internal temp from the turkey legs was 142 degrees..don't buy this for smoking meat... but good enough to be a Hot Holding.
poor design
December 25, 2013
bought this smoker for my father inlaw for Christmas. Here is a fair accounting of this smoker1. easy to assemble2. had various dents in the unit. packaging did not show any damage so i assume the dents occured before packing. none of the dents appeared to affect the opperation3. door was warped. would not seal. its held closed by magnets so when you push in the bottom to close the top pops open. we wanted to smoke a turkey for xmas so we tied a rope around top and bottom to seal. other wise the temp wouldnt rise above 195. if he keeps this unit he will need to add two latches.4.smoking tray lid only lays on top. a hinge of some sort would have been a better option. youll need a pair of needle nose pliers to add chips.5. it has a drip pan attatched below the unit. but beware it still leaks from the door and makes a mess.6.Does not produce enough smoke!!! Youll need to get creative to increase the smoke.
So so
March 17, 2013
There is no way to regulate the air that is needed for smoking. You will need to get a pie plate and lay it directly on heating element to get chips to smolder. Wouldn't really recommend

not good. Also
August 17, 2016
This is a very cheap Chinese built smoker. I had high hopes based on some reviews. After ordering two both damaged in shipment? WE accepted a small discount from Amazon to assemble it and try. When you put the legs on it prevents the door from closing, not good. Also, did not sit level after legs were put on. I would not order this if you are expecting a REAL smoker. Has way to many issues including the metal skin that had dents everywhere. Amazon was great but this is a piece of junk, my opinion!.

Cheap and had pieces break
Damaged
April 1, 2014
I received this product heavily damaged the box was patched in 2 different places . When I took it out I was checking it out and noticed that the door was bent and doesn't close right and the top piece is dented in three different corners and midline . I am very disappointed paying 44$ for shipping and handling .
Door warped, thermostat swings 45-50*
February 4, 2014
After first use the door warped, causing it to ruin my tri-tip. Now I have to block the door with something heavy.The temperature controller has too big of a temp swing. I did two chickens, the temp is important with chicken, and the best I could get it to do was 235 high temp to a 190 low temp, and it swings pretty often. Same with a pork shoulder, best I could set the temps was 265-215.I requested a refund.
After a few uses I get a 60 volt shock
September 1, 2013
Worked good until today when I grad the handle and get shocked.I took out my voltmeter and with the negative lead on my concrete patio and the positive lead on the handle the voltmeter read 60 volts AC.
