This thing just works! Buy it!
Style: Smoker
As a newbie to smoking, I bought a unit that was damaged but usable in every way and saved about 1/3 of the cost. The damage was minimal and cosmetic. Heck, I don't care what it looks like, I just want something that works! I applied the savings to chips, cover and thermometer. I live in an area that suffers frequent but short term power outages which steered me away from the digital units. When the power goes out for a few seconds before the generator kicks in, I don't have to worry about resetting or damaged electronics. It just starts back up where it left off. I also like the dual latches so the door stays evenly pulled closed. I don't tote my smoker around much but the handles make it easier to move. I do wish it came with a fourth rack but 3 is ok and depending on what you are smoking size wise, you may only need one. Inside smoking dimensions are roughly 12"d x 15"w x 22". I also like that the internal surfaces are pretty flat, including the shelf guides - makes clean up much easier! I had never smoked before but this thing makes it very easy! In the three months I have owned it, I have smoked hams, ducks, chicken, turkey, leg of lamb (bone in and was perfect!) hamburgers & chops and never disappointed! The temperature gauge on my unit runs about 10 degrees cool, but that is OK, its close enough. I recommend getting a 4 probe remote temperature sensor - you can get a good one for about $30 and saves you from having to open the door (letting the heat out) to check the temperature of your food. You can check it from pool :) I always wipe a bit of oil on the room temperature racks before placing meat on them and then popping it in to into the pre-heated smoker. Pre-heating is pretty quick and faster if you you hot water in your water tray. Once up to temperature, the outside stays relatively cool (ok, warm) and can be touched without being burned. Now the things that could be improved: Longer legs (or you will need something to set it on). A tad more air space for the chips to smoke just a bit more. Self cleaning feature could be better (kidding) Its "ok" to clean up if you don't let the dirty racks sit around for long. I do place foil just about the water and chip pans which helps a lot!. This is a good smoker and works without fuss. I recommend it highly. A year in... I have used this EVERY weekend! No issues, no problems. I did buy a (sold seperate) cold smoker unit so i could smoke cheese, rice and yes, pasta! ) it really is a GREAT low entry smoker! I actually bought a second one for our cabin. It is THAT good! ... show more

Works as Intended
Style: Smoker
I bought this little smoker because I didn't want to spend much on something I don't do often. With that said, I have to say this little thing works great. Yes, it's not fancy but because of that it's simple to use and fix if it ever breaks. You just have to monitor the heat with the dial. Once you get the hang of that it's easy. If it breaks you just replace the element which screws out and or the electric cord. Those are the only parts that could break down over time. I smoked ribs, salmon, and brisket so far and everything came out tasty. Easy to clean too as long as you do it soon after smoking! ... show more

great smoker for the beginner
Style: Smoker
This is my first smoker, it was economically priced, I didn't want to invest $$$ if I wasn't sure if I would like it. I researched other models and features, this unit was perfect for me, it fit my budget and did the job.I had a little trouble getting the temperature to be a steady 225* I got that figured out through when I seasoned the smoker the first time. My first food to smoke were chickens, of all the days to smoke; it rained! The smoker worked like a champ! No trouble at all, temperature did not drop even with rain hitting it. . Chickens came out great! Two things I should have paid more attention to: 1) I have to open the door to put in more wood chips! the smoker recovers the temperature quickly enough but would be better not to open the door at all.Wood chip bin is small. follow directions and don't soak the chips as the smoker takes longer to reach the desired temperatures. 2) The digital smokers seem to be a step up with conveniences like meat probe, ability to control temperature remotely, although I think it is better to have a watchful eye while smoking. Also, some have wood feeds or ways to add chips without opening the door. All in all, I am happy with my purchase. ... show more

"Bottom Line"
Style: Smoker
This smoker arrived 2 days early. I had exspected the box to have dents and tares on it, because of some of the reviews I read. My box was perfect. The packing was some of the best packing ive seen, Styrofoam top and bottom, the hardware was individually wrapped and placed in heavy duty industrial plastic bags sealed and, protected with Styrofoam. I got the smoker out of the box. I was was glad to see/ "Not one dent or scratch on it" "Total opposite of some of the reviews I read. It was simple to put all the hardware on, all I had to install was 4 legs, 2 handles and the electric heating element "Simple" once I got the stainless still water and chip box that slides into the stainless still shelve on the bottom I was ready for the heat test. Ive been smoking and curing all kinds of meats and cheese for approximately 27 years. I have 2 propane gas smokers, 1 smoker i use just for wood, and 1 charcoal smoker. This is the 3rd Electric Smoker ive had, I wont mention any names/ MB./SH. But, I might mention initials. Im not to keen on digital electric smokers, they tend to quit working after 4or5 smoking's, the digital quits digitalizing, or the heat temp gauge, starts spazzing out, and going up and down or stuck, in between. Plus they cost a arm and a leg. After doing a little research, I settled on the Char- Broil analog electric smoker, for half the price.! The Char-Broil is built solid, heavey duty door hinges and latches, interior insulated double walled stainless steel with 3 racks. It also comes with instructions in English of all things.! "Bottom line" This is a "Great Smoker" for the price. Ive done 9 smokes in less than a month including the initial empty Smoke burn to burn out the assembly and paint smells. The Anolog thermostat is easy to control and stays at the temp you want. The meat smokes even, stays moist and tender. the temp gauge reads smoking temp and, dosent stick or spazz out. The rest is up to you.! For Me" Everything, "So far-So good" " Bottom Line" I would recomend this Char Broil smoker to beginners, Semi pro, and "Pro smokin Chef's"... For $200 bucks, "You cant go wrong. ... show more

Great smoker for high-heat smoking projects
Style: Smoker
I love this smoker! It is a marvel of simple, easily repairable design and smoking efficacy. Assembly is super-easy and quick. The only parts likely to fail (the heating element and analog controller) are very easily replaced and readily available at a reasonable cost when the smoker is out of warranty. But this smoker's biggest advantage is the ability to reach higher temperatures than most electric smokers, which I wanted for some of my high-heat smoking projects such as brisket. It will easily get to 350 degrees F. in warmer weather and 300 in colder weather. Most electric smokers top out at 275. The one disadvantage compared to some other electric smokers is that you have to open the door to replenish wood chips. However, I have found that once this smoker is heated up, it recovers very quickly after the door is closed again. Also, the chip tray is larger than you'll find on some other smokers, so it's not necessary to replenish chips as often. Once the wood chips start smoldering, you'll see smoke rolling out of the vents. Because this smoker is analog, not digital, I was concerned at first about monitoring the smoker's temperature, but it turns out not to be a big issue if you have at least a two-port remote thermometer setup – you can use one probe with a rack clip to monitor the smoker temperature and the other probe to monitor the meat. If the remote tells me the smoker is too cool or not hot enough, I just go out and adjust the analog controller. I have found that the built-in analog thermometer on the door of the smoker is fairly accurate – it reads only a few degrees higher than my probe thermometer does. I did have to drill out a larger hole in one of the vents so I could run my probe wires through the vent rather than possibly damaging the wires by routing them out the door. The tray that protects the water pan, smokewood pan and heating element will accumulate a lot of cooking debris. Therefore, it's a good idea to foil the tray, making sure to poke holes through the foil where the tray has holes. Also, even when doing a high-heat smoke, it's advisable to keep at least a little water in the water pan because grease will drip through to that pan, and the water makes it easier to clean; too much water inhibits higher temperatures if that's your goal. ... show more

Great smoker
Style: Smoker
For several years I used a large gas fired smoker to make the usual jerky, sausages, bacon, etc. Now my family have all moved away and the smoker, although still doing a good job, was just too large for just me. So, I gave that smoker to friends and decided to try this smaller, electric, Charbroil smoker... Am very glad I did. So far I have been curing and smoking pork loins for Canadian/back bacon and its working like a charm.. Took a short learning curve and still have a way to go, but, its doing a really great job,,,,,, and the bacon is delicious... So, the package arrived and after a thorough check could find no dents or dings.. All parts were there as well..Assembly took about an hour or so working alone.. No problems at all. Was very impressed with the smoker, it is insulated, it looks very nice, fits in a small space, and seems quite sturdy.. I decided to smoke a cured pork loin for a trial run. I had some fairly wide temperature swings till I got the hang of adjusting the thermostat. I use applewood chips for smoke and one pan filled lasted about an hour. About three hours later the loin was finished, I let it cool then tasted it----was perfect! Very very delicious. I have smoked 5 or so more cured pork loins since the first and all have been perfect --just the way I like them... So am very pleased with the smoker... I wouldnt hesitate to buy another if necessary... I have found that as the meat smokes and comes up to temperature, I do have to adjust the thermostat to a bit cooler a couple of times, for me thats not any problem. The pan of wood chips smokes for about an hour or so, sometimes longer, and the smoke flavor is always just right, for me at least.. I purchased two items to go with this smoker,, a Veken two probe remote sending thermometer and since I use pink salt #1 in the cure I also purchased a Brefit scale for accurately measuring down to 1/10 gram. I have not regretted making either purchase. So, in summary, in my opinion I feel that for the cost this is a really good smoker that doesnt have many frills, but it gets the job done.. Thanks Charbroil... btw,, nobody is or has paid me to write this review,, its totally how I feel about this smoker... ... show more

Very Easy to Maintain
Style: Smoker
I bought this to replace the previous electric smoker we had as the digital controls on the old one burned out twice (replaced the control board once). First since this is an analog you can bring the cord and control in when you are done so no rain getting into the controls. heats up pretty fast and I was able to cook and maintain the Temp I wanted (225-240) setting it at 2.75-3.25 the control is graduated so you have marks between the numbers from 0-5. First meal I did was 6 pounds of chicken thighs and Fresh corn in for the last hour. I put the chicken in a disposable cake pan to keep it clean salt and pepper then covered it with a little Italian dressing. smoked the chicken for 3.5 hours and it was perfect 165degrees and so juicy. I put my fresh corn in after soaking in water to smoke for an hour and my god in heaven when I checked the corn I pulled the husks back and a beautiful bright yellow and the sweet and smokey flavor was worth the wait. I didn't have to add any water to the reservoir after the initial fill up. The chips after I filled it I would add a small handful every hour (pecan chips). Pulled the cord and took it in when the cooking was finished and covered the smoker up the next morning when I got up. This smoker may be on the lower end of the price scale but worth far more than I payed for it. It is a very sturdy machine too. right at 50 pounds double walled and good insulation on the handles so you can move it if you need to without gloves. Pros: Price and ease of use. cons: I am going to gain so much weight with this thing. ... show more

Decent Electric Smoker
Style: Smoker
This is great as a starter smoker, and since my apartment complex doesnt allow open flames near the building, having an electric smoker is extremely beneficial. Operation is simple, plug it in, dial the control to the heat that you want (you might have to adjust it to find the right temp for you), and I've noticed the thermometer on the door is relatively accurate compared to the digital thermometer I use to monitor the temp inside the cabinet. Assembly wasn't awful, it took maybe 20 minutes. When I recieved mine, the temperature dial was broken so I filed a warranty claim with Charbroil and by the next week they had sent me a new part at no charge. Now for it's use/flavor. The woodchip tray is relatively small, but it still let's out a good amount of smoke. Unfortunately, I've yet to get any semblance of a smoke ring, and unless smoking meat with no seasoning, you really don't taste much smoke flavor, though it works great as an "outdoor oven". I think in order to get the true effects of a smoker, youd need a gas smoker or one you can continuously feed wood/woodchips into to keep the steady smoke going throughout the cooking process. Still a good product, prefer it over their digital unit that crapped out on me after a year. ... show more
