Cameron Cookware Stainless Steel Stovetop Smoker

First off, I love what I can do w/ this smoker. Killer for fish, great ribs, can't wait to try many other things. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A BARBECUE GRILL. That being said, it has it's uses, and does a fine job.
My problem has been the "made in China" aspect. The first one I received, the handle bracket was attached crooked, and the handle would not stay snugged up against side of pan, flopped off at some angle. Returned that one and received a second, almost worse than the first. Called the company (Cameron Cookware) and advised them of the problem. THEY sent me another, but I must say even this one is not right. But I give up, I want the pan badly enough I'm going to keep it. I must commend Cameron for their effort to make things right tho.

I wanted one of these after enjoying smoked pork chops at my brother's house. Easy to use. Makes delicious and healthful foods. Clean up is relatively painless. This size big enough for two (with leftovers.) I have been grilling for years, but now I will have more smoked options on the menu.

Love it! Smoked 3 trout about a pound each. Made two different smoked trout salads with the leftovers. Also, smoked 2 tilapia fillets with 4 small ears of corn. Turned out great. Used the smoker on my range with electric burners and also used it on my daughter's solid top stove. Worked on both. Highly recommend this item. The chips are finer than the ones you use on a grill also rather spendy. Tip: run regular chips through an electric coffee grinder or blender until they are the right size. Much cheaper.

I've used the smoker pan several times, and can't get the lid fit right. Some smoke escapes. Last time I put Reynolds Wrap over the top of the lid to seal it in and that works. The pan is of good steel gauge, and the smoke flavor is great. I just wish it fit together better.

After reading some less than stellar reviews I got a bit nervous, but I have to say after having this smoker a few weeks I couldn't be happier. So far I've made salmon, grouper, chicken, pork chops and ribs and each one came out perfect and juicy. In fact its so good for fish I would have bought it for that alone had I known. I used it once outside on my grill for ribs and wasn't happy with the results although it was probably the grill's fault. I've used it in the house all the other times, The second time I cooked the ribs for an hour inside then finished them up in the oven after taking the chips out (got that recipe from [...] from Emeril's show which is where I first saw this smoker) I've had a cold smoker in the past and while this is no substitute, it really is a great little item for cooking everyday foods. One complaint some commented on was the smell in the house when cooking, I have not noticed a problem with that at all, no more than any other cooking method. One corner doesn't seal as well as I like so I just put some foil over that part. All in all its a really good product that I would have no hesitation recommending.
