You need a smartphone to use the smoker wood chips are good wood pellets last longer but let me tell you I love mine
Very happy with my simple smoker
I love this smoker. It is easy to use and the ability to custom set temp and time through the smartphone is great. It took a little time to get the smoker and the smartphone to sync, but once it did it works great. The only shortcoming is that you have to be able to connect to wifi. It might be good if it could connect through Bluetooth. It is easy and everything we have cooked was great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being that our family had never owned a smoker before, I was nervous it would be difficult or operate and I wasn't sure if the flavor would be too heavy of a smokey flavor and overwhelm the meat. Wow were we wrong! We smoked turkey recently and the flavor came out perfectly balanced- not too smokey but just smokey enough. The meat was tender and pulled right off the bone. Yum! As far as ease of use, the device is so so Simple. Once we download the Charbroiled app, we went about our day and were alerted of the turkey's progress as it cooked. I felt secure knowing we would not burn or over smoke the meat-a great feature for busy families! I can't wait to try salmon next.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this product. It was nice to download the app and receive notifications via my smartphone, letting me know that the meat was almost ready. You simply put your meat on the smoker, tell the app what you are cooking and then you go about your day! We added the Cherry Wood chips as well and the flavor was fantastic.
Smokes and grills great. Only thing is the DADO needs some work, does not stay connected. The presets work fine, have smoked fish, pork & beef with great results.
I have been looking for a "Higher" end smoker but really didn't want to spend big money.... I came across this smoker and was intrigued but very skeptical with the Wi-Fi.... Well I bought it and tried it out for the first time yesterday 03-26-18 and was blown away by how well it cooked a (Test) Roaster Chicken. I am looking forward to trying other meats and such. About the Wi-Fi. There are soooooo many variables with all different systems out there ALL having different compatibility issues that I'm not surprised to see all the negative comments. I found it to not to be too difficult. (I do a lot of work in IT). A couple things. You MUST be on the same network on your phone as the network you want the DADO system to connect to. Make sure you wireless system is up to date. The"newer" Wi-Fi routers work really well. The better that range of your router the better it will be for hooking up your unit in your yard. I'm REALLY hoping Char-Broil doesn't scrap these systems. IOT is definitely the wave of the future!!! I love it so far!!! I have added pics of my successful first try... Dave Goldstein
I've had this smoker for several months now. I've cooked brisket, ribs, meatloaf, and baked potatoes. I use it pretty much every weekend. I've used the internal temp settings, as well as the time settings. It consistently turns out a flavorful, moist product. This is a great, simple, fast way to get into smoking various meats.
I was originally going to rate this smoker as a 3, but then I remembered it's name, "Simple Smoker with SmartChef Technology." Two Thanksgivings ago, I tried smoking a Turkey on my Charbroil gas grill and was so pleased with the result that I wanted to get a dedicated smoker and learn how to do it right. I did a little research and was set to ask for a barrel smoker for Christmas when I saw Charbroil's announcement for an electric smoker that worked with WiFi and an iPhone. It boasted a "library of recipes" and the simplicity of electricity. As I was new to smoking and this smoker looked simple, I asked for it instead of my first option. I have to admit that I've had some struggles (as you can no doubt see from my posts in the Questions section.) But, I've been able to get answers to most of them. I've been frustrated with the size as from time to time, the things I wanted to smoke didn't always fit well in this smoker. I wanted to smoke some recipes that I found on Charbroil's site (i.e. Creamy Smoked Mac and Cheese, and Smoked Corn on the Cob) but couldn't figure out how to setup the smoker as it requires using the temperature probe. My final frustration was with the iPhone app. The recipes I find there are well done, but extremely limited. There are only two each for Beef, Chicken, Pork, and Turkey. One of the Chicken recipes is listed as "Friend Whole Chicken" even though, once you look at the recipe you see it is actually for SMOKED chicken. There's only one Turkey recipe and it too is listed as "Fried Whole Turkey" and my problem with that recipe was that the smallest setting it had was for a 10b turkey and my first smoke was two Turkey breasts; one 8 lb and one 6 lb breast. Again, the recipe, once I looked at the details was actually for a smoked, rather than fried, turkey. I realize that from reading this review so far, you might think I don't like my smoker and may be wondering why I rated it 4 out of 5 stars… That's because, as I thought about writing this review, I realized three things: I was new to smoking, the product is relatively new, and the product is called a SIMPLE smoker. I have already learned a lot about smoking in the three months I've had this smoker. I've been able to find workarounds for smoking items that require time rather than temperature. I've been told that the company which develops the iPhone app is working on updates, including one that will allow us to smoke by time and not internal temperature. And, I wanted SIMPLE, especially as I entered this world of smoking. I've successfully smoked two turkey breasts, pulled pork, baby back ribs, pork tenderloin, tri-tip, ribeye steaks, a sirloin tip roast, and bacon-wrapped stuffed chicken thighs. All of these were incredibly tasty. I've also been (mostly) successful at smoking things like: corn on the cob (regular and bacon-wrapped), macaroni and cheese, and au gratin potatoes. IF they ever add the ability to smoke by time rather than internal temperature (with the attached probe) and add recipes to the app (letting us add them as users would be a great idea…) then I would happily change my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I am pleased enough with this product, and like smoking so much that there is a good chance that next Christmas I may be asking for the Digital Electric Smoker with SmartChef Technology as I would love the added flexibility and increased size that smoker should provide.
I bought this about 3 weeks ago. Wanted to get into smoking. Did my first chicken last night with Maple chips. The chicken was awesome. Made a place for the smoker next to outlet and not far away from wifi.
