My old Brinkmann smoker was about 20 years old, leaky and wheezing. It was sorely in need of a new heating element -- too bad, no longer available. After shopping around on the internet, I decided on the Meco stainless steel smoker. Easy to assemble, by the way. I haven't done much with it so far since it's December in Maine, if you get my drift (ing snow and cold). But what I did -- a small piece of pork, a ham hock and some steelhead trout on separate occasions -- turned out great! I also like that it's all in one piece so easy to move around. Right now it's on winter respite in the barn, but I'm looking forward to it warming up enough, maybe in March that I can bring it out and do some serious smoking.
I like this smoker a lot! Easy to set up and use. But based on my last smoker, I was inclined to crank the smoker up to around medium to high as the smoking temperature. Wrong. These elements get real hot and I finally learned to put the smoker on a little less than LOW and it worked great. If you don't use LOW, guaranteed your chunks will fire up.
I'm completely satisfied with cost, the quality of material construction and it cooks great. I do recommend it for anyone!!
bought this smoker to replace our old smoker. my husband wore the other one out. this smoker wins hands down. the adjustable heat is great. he loves it. would buy it again.
When putting the smoker together I noticed that the pieces were dirty, they looked like they had been used before (looked like food or sauce on some of the parts). Also part of the screws and one bracket was missing. By the time I would of shipped it back it was cheaper to just go to the hardware store and replace the missing parts on my own. Otherwise the smoker works great but feel it was overpriced.
I got this smoker as a gift for father's day and I love it! It needs a thermometer and a good place to put wood chips. But, overall this smoker works great and we have had several delicious meals. I would highly recommend this smoker !
Not complicated.....just follow your recipe. Keep your eye on the cooking process since it can vary depending on the heat.
First of all, BBQ Guys get 5 stars. The first smoker we received was bent enough that the lid did not fit no matter how much we tried to shape it into place. Upon contacting BBQ Guys, they immediately sent us a new smoker with a lid that fit perfectly. Now the rest of the story. We followed the directions exactly to cook an 11 lb. organic fresh turkey (expensive!). The directions said to cook a 10 - 12 lb turkey 6 - 8 hours and repeated over and over "Do not peek" while your meat is cooking. We had to put wood chunks in several times, no problem. The water in the pan never evaporated completely, so that was untouched. Nice fragrant smoke was coming out of the cooker. At 6 hours I excitedly got my instant read thermometer ready and we opened the lid. Our beautiful turkey was a shriveled black mess.! The thermometer read 220 degrees! Turkey jerky! Luckily this was an experiment and it wasn't Thanksgiving day. We will try again in the future, but this time I will peek at maybe 4 hours, 5 hours, etc.
The element will only heat up to around 180 degrees, useless, took it back.
This smoker was damaged. Major dents were present on the drip/liquid pans. Rivets were missing and the overall metal construction seemed cheap and flimsy. There were no nuts anywhere in the packaging for the screws provided. This was the worst product that I have ever purchased online and I was extremely disappointed. Buyer beware !!! I returned it immediately to my local Walmart store. I would never buy this product again and would not take another one if it was given to me for free.
