Great little Smoker! Easy to assemble. I smoker an 8lb ham on thanksgiving eve while camping. I used a 1 burner propane table top stove. I thought I was going to have to move to campfire.

It takes a pretty hot fire to heat it up and hold 200-2225.This is not a light weight smoker. Built well!

Patience is called for so don't open, use the little hole on the side to add your chips. Done a great job, ham was perfect. Took about 6hrs with my learning curve. I would definitely buy again. Compact but not too small for Med ham, turkey or racket ribs. Line bottom with foil for easy cleanup.

Wow! This thing is amazing! $10 salmon at Walmart that already came seasoned was amazing 45 minutes later. I would have paid $30 at a restaurant. Flaky and moist! This thing is 5 stars! Well built and portable. I just did chicken breasts and threw it in my salad, yum! It would take me 1-hour to get my big smoker going, this sets up in 5 mins. Worth every penny....

I have not used this yet, so there's that big caveat.

But I love the design, and it's not flimsy. It certainly appears to be a unit very carefully thought out, with the ability to put it on any kind of heat source. The sides are sturdy enough, and I like the ease in which I can flavor the smoke. I bought it with the intent of smoking chicken and fish.

Once you get use to putting the smoker together everything becomes a breaze.

The smoker is well made, extremely portable and works with most any heat source.

The food turns out deliciously smoked. This coupled with the fact that it packs away into a very small and durable case makes it ideal for those with a small budget that doesn't like alot of bulk or clutter.

Portability is great. Smoked pork loin DELICIOUS!!

Recently bought this smoker for our summer trips to the lake/river, tried it out the other day and we love it! It comes broken down in a hard carrying case and is fairly easy to assemble (with a few more times, I think it'll be a simple set up). Perfect for small meals and is very convenient. We used it over a grill since we were home, but I think over an open fire will be even better! I think this will be the best addition to our summer trips this year hands down!

If you are into camping and like to smoke or grill food, this is the smoker for you. WHile it is marketed as a smoker, I found that the temps get high enough to grill. This is BY FAR the most compact portable smoker on the market. I will have a video review and a few cooking videos using it on my youtube channel soon at No Hippie BBQ: [...]

SMOKED MEAT, ;is there anything more to say?

I cannot say enough good stuff about this smoker, it is just the right size for a family of four, and it colapses down into a canvenient carrying case perfect for taking camping or storing in the garage and not another hufe item cluttering your patio.

I have smoked multiple pork bellys and ribs in this little portable unit. Overall it does what it advertises well. Smoke level is easy to control with a gas/electric burner, but would think using wood/charcoal would be a lot harder to get a constant heat for a specific smoke level. The only thing I do not like is that you have to remove the rack/food when adding pellets/chips to unit, as there is only a air vent hole in base unit. If one of the panels had a access door that sealed well, it would really help with adding chips. I have since purchased a Masterbuilt electric smoker, so haven’t used the portable in a year. I recommend this for anyone that is smoking less than 10 lbs of meat (I layered pork-belly with cookie racks between layers for smoking), as it has a small cooking surface and the pyramid shaped top really reduces how high your meat can be.

Really enjoyed this smoker on my last camping trip (A+ for portability). Smoked a full rack of nicely trimmed, dry-rubbed baby backs (halved, to fit inside) over dry oak pellets for about 3 hours (225F-250F), then slow roasted in foil over a very low fire a few more hours. Ribs we're tender, juicy, full-flavor and rightly close to fall-off-the-bone. From a performance perspective, the smoker was perfect - ribs were beautifully, fully smoked. However the black paint on the smoker had begun bubbling and peeling in places, indicating that this product will need some unplanned manual upkeep. While that was disappointing, at the end of the day I'm more concerned w/ product performance, and this delivers the goods. Looking forward to my next smoke w/ the Ziv!

My dad loved this. We made wings that were AMAZING. One piece has slight damage but did not affect performance. Everything went back into the case no problem.. just follow the instructions provided.

Fast delivery, well built, well made fit. Can't wait to use it

I like the idea of this smoker but the one I got is rusted. the case is cracked and one of the laches is broken.
