This is exactly what I had been looking for. A no frills, well made, electric Smoker. Assembles in about 15 minutes. You have to put on the four legs with three screws for each leg. Two handles have to be put on. The temp dial has to be mounted. And the front door has to be mounted. All screws and hardware fit perfectly.Smoker has an analog temp gauge on the front of the door. There are two heavy duty handles on each side of the smoker near the top so it's easy to move the smoker around when not in use. Simply to use. Just prep your meat or fish with a marinade, rub or brine. Add meat to the grates in the smoker. Plug in the smoke and set the temp. If you want a slow smoke experience, I suggest using the LOW temp setting. Produces plenty of smoke and really slow cooks the meat or fish. I also highly recommend soaking your wood chips in water for about 30 minutes before adding them to the smoke. This will increase smoke output. It's easy to add chips and water, but have a pot holder or mitt at the ready to pull out the hot grate they both reside on. I have used the hickory chips, the alder chips, and the apple chips. None are overpowering.I am very please with this smoker and can recommend it. I would certainly purchase it again. Most importantly, my wife loves the taste of anything that comes out of it.
