Brinkmann 810-7080-4 Gourmet Electric Smoker and Grill, Red Review

I chose this smoker mainly because I found it on sale at one of the home improvement warehouses for only $69.00!.I chose electric because I like the idea that the temp remains constant.The downside is that the temp is not adjustable.On a cool day the temp seems to hover at 225 F which is nice for longer smokes.The documentation says it should be smoking between 250F - 275F.I don't think it can get that high because of some minor issues in its shape.

The smoker has no intentional venting.However, the drum of my unit is not perfectly round; it is oblong.This causes two gaps about 12" in length and about 1/4" wide at its widest point.At first I was concerned with this, but after tasting a brisket and 2 chickens I have smoked, I like the results.

I have yet to try the unit on a hot day so it will be interesting to see what the temperature rises to.I also wish the unit was built with a thermometer to read the temp.

If you can find one of these for cheap, grab it.This is a great intro unit to smoking.I hope I get 3-5 years out of it and then I will upgrade to an insulated unit (if I am still smoking.

BTW, this can double as a small grill.
