Outdoor Smoke Generator, Stainless Steel Electric Smoker, Smoke Tube for Pellet Smoker, Hot/Cold Smokers with Adjustable Smokes Volume Air Pump, Perfect for Cold Smoking Cheese, Birthday Gifts for Men

This is a good cold(of course don't expect freezing cold smoke, just a little bit over outside temperature) smoke generator if you are lazy to build something DIY. I've built in past a few of them with different designs(different height, smoke tube at the top or at the bottom and etc. ) and when I received this one I said "yep, good design".It produces pretty strong smoke out of pellets and fast to start them because of air flow from compressor.I didn't try it with full load and timer but I would say 4-6 hours seems doable.There is might be one design flaw with bottom lid(this silicone thing which is on the bigger tube) - when it is hot while or just after finishing smoking, it keeps failing out of tube. Not a problem but keep it in mind.Outside of it seems solid and well built - all details looks professionally assembled without any sharp surfaces(usual problem of custom production).In case if you want to start smoking and already have a grill(I was using cardboard box in the past to do cold smoking :)), this device is for you.

Great smoke generator! Chips or pellets either one! Clear and precise owners manual.Turns any regular gas grill into a first class smoker, 5 stars for suree!!!

Rec'd unit today. Have to say, it is a robust, sturdy unit and seems to be well made. Am anxious to put it into service on my Weber gas grill. One thing I am realizing is that it is raining, pretty much can't use this unit since my patio pad my grill sits on is outside with no roof above it. Guess I could rig up something like a beach umbrella but would be a PIA.One question... the instructions make a big deal about the power source saying no MORE than 5-7V and no LESS than 2A. Does this mean I can't plug the std USB cord that came with it into a standard plug that then plugs into the home electrical system?

I've used this cold smoker 2 times and on the 3rd time I went to use it the air pump won't even turn on.First time using it was really easy , pretty easy to assemble but the metal is thin and cheap and cannot stand up to the heat if you try to push the rubber seal in the metal lid bends. You need to use something else to help push and guide he rubber in.It worked pretty well the first 2 times I used it produced good smoke. It was a little noisy but it worked then I went to fire it up tonight and the pump won't turn on.Got 2 uses out of it before it died ...Got 2 stairs for ease of use and ease of assembly.But quality and durability is not worth itDropped to 1 star seller reached out asking if I wanted a refund or replacement and I said yes and now they won't respond.Bad product unresponsive seller

OK, nobody eats smoked foods for their "health benefits." We eat them because they taste great! But the unique two-chamber design of this smoke generator surely offers some health benefits that no single chamber smoke generator can. I realized this when I cleaned the auxiliary chamber, not the one with the smoking pellets but the chamber into which the smoke is drawn before it is ejected into the grill via a venturi effect. After a four hour smoke using mesquite pellets, there was about a quarter inch of thick, gooey tar (or "smoke oil") on the bottom of the chamber, tar that did NOT make it into my food! I'd say that is some sort of health benefit! The device was very easy to assemble with clearly illustrated instructions. It came with its own high quality Phillips head screwdriver and a mini wrench to complete the assembly. They provided twice as many stainless steel screws and wing nuts as the assembly required, so there was no danger of being unable to assemble the generator due to a lost screw. The package includes a wire-bristle bottle brush that is used to clean the chambers after use. The fan is quiet and very effective with a lot of variability in the output. I am very, very happy with this purchase!

Cutest hard working cold smoker yet. I have an electric smoker and a charcoal smoker too and this little gizmo saves me 2 to 6 hours of constantly watching over the quality of my smoke and smoked product. I love it and would recommend it to everyone who wants flavorful and impressive home prepared quality meat dishes.

This thing is awesome! I wanted something that would smoke pellets. I tried one other brand which was highly rated but performed terribly. I think the design was fantastic actually. It was extremely hard to light and keep lit. I tried pellets and two types of chips; regular and extra fine. Even when it was lit, it didn't smoke worth a darn. I think maybe a stronger air pump may have helped. Note: most units advertise with videos showing wood chips added to the chamber although they say they will burn pellets also.This unit is simple! Pour in the pellets, turn the pump on high, light them through each (2) holes, and let it start puffing. The instructions say to run on high for 1.5-2.0 minutes but it didn't take a minute at the most. The full chamber burned for ~7 hours at half power.I hot smoked a rack of ribs first. Easy cook. I set the pump at 1/2 power and still made plenty of smoke. I didn't want to over power the food.I highly recommend this unit. Plus it is half the cost of others! 2 THUMBS UP!!

Great product. Puts out a lot of smoke. Would have given it five stars instead of four but It has to be cleaned every couple of uses. The Creosote builds up has to be removed.
