Customer Reviews
Handles large batches effortlessly and maintains consistent heat throughout. The multiple cooking grates provide excellent flexibility for different cuts of meat. Very pleased with this purchase.
Impressive smoker rocks every cook perfectly.
Living in a condo meant I needed something compact but powerful. This vertical design fits perfectly and my neighbors keep asking what smells so good! Temperature stays rock steady.
My husband surprised me with this beauty and I've been obsessed! So much easier to use than I expected. Made the most amazing pulled pork last weekend. The black finish looks gorgeous on our deck too.
Does exactly what it should do. Good temperature control and plenty of cooking space.
