cooked ribs and brisket so far. Both were very good. I have other wood burning smokers. This was much easier to use and the food came out just as good. Just set the temp @ time and add pellets every half hour for smoke. The surprise was how easy and good it was to clean. I sprayed the inside with POWER DISSOLVER waited 1/2 hour and washed down with hose.

My old Char-Broil $69 water smoker finally rotted away and I found this on Overstock. It comes with a HUGE supply of rack and grates - normal, fine for jerky, tee-pee style for ribs, hooks for hanging sausages. My only issue is where to store all this extra stuff! I've only used it twice so far, once for chicken and another time to smoke a corned beef brisket (try it sometime, really! It's a different twist on a brisket sandwich). It held temp evenly. My only problem that I am having is that the door gasket keeps popping out of the groove when I close the door, like the hinge is not adjusted correctly. I've seen a similar unit at Home Depot for $199 but it wasn't stainless.. The side loading chute for chips/pellets is clever. Another demerit is the mfr's website. Cajun Injector's site is pretty much dedicated to sauces and syringes and barely mentions this gem. I am awaiting a response on the gasket issue, I hope I don't have to send it back.

I live in the cold north country where it's difficult to maintain consistent heat while smoking. The stainless smoker has a double latch to seal the door tight. The fully insulated design maintains a constant heat even while cold smoking (I use this method for smoking saausage) under extreme weather conditions. Uses very little wood chips to keep a continuous smoke throughout the smoking process. I was introduced to the cajun smoker while visiting a friend in Fargo. I love it and will not go back to the conventional wood/charcoal. Just set the temp and time and let it do its thing.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent design features, easy to use and clean up a cinch

I've only used it twice Ribs and a Chicken, both turned out great. Some reviews of electric smokers said it was difficult to maintain the temperature below 240-50, but I didn't have any problem maintaining 220 or 225 on this unit. I like the double clasp on the door. I put mine on a cabinet section, which makes loading and unloading a breeze, it also serves as a place to keep my racks and wood chips, gloves, and utensils. It arrived timely and in good condition, this is my first purchase from overstock. I gave it 4 stars because I only used it twice.

I smoked a 22lb turkey and salmon for Christmas and everything turned out very well. The smoker held its temperature in 20 degree weather with only a slight difference in temperature.

Easy to get started. I've used it once after the set-up. Smoked some pork tenderloins which came out absolutely delicious. Nice and moist, just enough smokiness, and easy to clean up. No smoke escapes during the cooking process. I don't know why I waited so long to get one. It maintains temperature within a good range. I will probably use it a couple times a month.
