Camp Chef SMV24 Smoke Vault 24 Inch

I can't say enough about this product or the Camp Chef company! I've use this smoker for two years now for all kinds of things from making BBQ to baking pies. I does a wonderful job on anything you might want to cook, bake or smoke at low or high temperatures. The temperature range and control are excellent so this is a very versatile portable smoker-baker-oven.

It's large enough to lay a full brisket or rack of ribs down without trimming or curling yet, it's small enough and light enough to load on the truck and take camping or to do on- site catering for small parties. It can easily accommodate 5 large aluminum trays for warming or cooking lasagna, stuffed shells or baked ziti! I love it! [...]

The box is very heavy, like many other reviewers i think that they need to make the packaging more sturdy to prevent damage... i had a small dent lucky that the ups man was cautious... very easy to put together this is a one person job. curing the box was easy... i smoked couple of meats not bad but i need to learn the amount of smoking for meats, first batch was too smoky. Like all things you need to try it and learn from the mistakes, this is a little gem at the right price... great starter smoker for first time fan.

This is a very well-built smoker. I have tried the cheaper ones but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. It was easy to assemble, no missing parts, always a major complaint of mine. If you are a 2 or 3 times a year smoker, this is problably a little pricey and you would be better off with a kettle type smoker. But If you are a serious outdoor griller or smoker I would highly recommend this one. Temp is easy to control and very well built. Only thing I would reccomend is to put wheel casters on so it can be moved easily, but this is minor, I can pick the unit up by myself with no problem... and maybe a little longer propane hose. These are very minor tho overall, 5 snaps up.
