Bought this for myself as a birthday gift. I live in the city, and while I don’t have a yard or space for a full sized smoker, I do have access to an outdoor gas grill. So, my review is for outdoor use only. I will not be using it indoors.I’ve smoked whole chickens on 2 separate occasions. Both were spatchcocked and smoked for about an hour. Result was distinct smokey flavor in the meat and super juicy and moist.For the reviewers who have stated it’s hard to clean or it rusted after they left it out on the counter for a few days, your kitchens must be super special. I mean. Did you even try to wash it? 😂It won’t be pristine. The smoke will definitely stain the underside of the drip pan, so if you’re super precious about outdoor cooking tools, it’s not going to stay perfect.I’ve had no problem cleaning it right up. I use heavy duty aluminum foil to line the drip pan, and I let the smoker tray soak a bit while I’m eating.Then…you actually need to make sure you’ve dried everything off. If you treat something like garbage, it’s going to end up looking like garbage.This is a great piece of equipment and I’ll definitely invest in the extender ring to increase capacity.ETA…I ordered this case for it for carrying and storage. Fits great with enough head room for the extender ring, as well as an outside pocket for containers of wood chips, etc.https://a.co/d/e7XDSP5

First time to try it. had to continually adjust heat to keep within 190-210 range. I did not see hint to put aluminum in bottom to help with cleaning. will do that next time. a real pain in the lobonza to clean. however, the ribs were well done and tender....smoky taste. next time I will put aluminum in the bottom. only real problem I saw was with the vents closed, smoke still came out around the vent. good thing I had vent hood fan on high. next day the apartment still smelled. I think it is a good buy and will recommend it. I will continue to use it.

I have the rectangular version of the stove-top smoker by another brand and it too, is excellent. The only thing, when smoking a whole chicken or brisket, you have to make a foil tent which is a major nuisance. This kettle is perfect. I didn't realize it came in two sizes and wound up with the large size as opposed to personal, but that's OK...will be good for when entertaining. Make sure the drip pan is lined with aluminum foil, otherwise it will be a nightmare to clean as the drippings carbonize. The perforated pan requires Brillo to clean even though I lightly oiled it before placing food on top. Brillo is also needed to clean the interior sides as drippings carbonize and stain. I guess that is a by-product of smoking and those stains can't be removed. Chicken breasts came out flavourful and juicy. I placed them in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp the skin. Excellent product and glad I purchased it.

Please with that product :)

Lovely product, only tried the salmon , very tasty.Product received without the meter though :(

Bien pensado. Buena calidad de materiales. Pero la tapa no ajusta bien y el humo escapa. Lo solucioné colocando tiras de papel mojado y funcionó, pero debería ajustar bien por si solo.

Danke. Gerne wieder.

Sturdy material. Arrived very quickly. Easy to use. Holds consistent temperature whether used on an induction hob or outdoor grill. Great results so far!
