Smoldering chips make bitter creosoteReviewed by Bortz, 2010-02-24
My wife bought me this for a Christmas gift. I've been a back yard
barbecue fan for many years and have put in the time needed to
learn proper fire management and what it takes to turn out good
product. I used this cameron steel box smoker according to
directions with the two tablespoons of chips and cooked two Omaha
steaks with it. The results were terrible as used with the
instructions given. Bitter meat and basically, it ruined the
steaks.
The concept with this product is flawed right from the start. If
you're smoking in an enclosed box with no air flow, you'll get
incomplete combustion of the chips, which in turn, produces
creosote. Creosote is what produces a bitter flavor on the meat.
Poor air flow in any kind of smoker will cause this problem. Any
pit master will tell you the same thing. If you live in a northern
climate and can't be bothered with setting up your smoker on a snow
covered patio deck, you're better off going to your local BBQ
restaurant, rather than wasting time with this lazy-que meat
ruin-er.
Rusted throughReviewed by AD, 2010-01-12
I got it a couple of years ago, and now have to replace - it rusted
through.
Well made and easy to use - until its stainless steel qualities are
gone.
an OKAY smoke box is better than NO smoke boxReviewed by S. Barker, 2009-10-05
Not to sound like a bad NFL coach post-game press conference
cliche, but this smoke box "is what it is." It does it's job as a
cheap smoke box, imparting added flavor to items you're slow
cooking on your gas or coal grill. For true smoked meat flavor,
you're better off buying a full-on, high-quality ceramic meat
smoker, which can be purchased for upwards of $175.
For the price, this is a pretty decent tool to add to your BBQ
utility belt.
Too tall for the grillReviewed by B. Barlow, 2009-09-12
Smoke box was too tall for the Weber Genesis grill, it would not fit between the flavor bars and the grilling rack. I had to return it. Got one from Home Depot, a bit larger but works great.

Very nice smoker for the money. I have a Weber S-320 grill and I bought this smoker to put under the grid on top of the flavorizer bars. The height of the smoker with the lid on prevents the grid to rest where it should. So I have to leave the lid off or put on top of the grid. Cheaper than Weber alternative.
