Char-Broil Standard Digital Electric Smoker 725

Temperature seems to be off about 20 degrees. Set temp at 225 and temperature went up to 248. Ill have to play with it more to get used to it.

Purchased in Feb 2020 and used maybe a half dozen times for smoking. When it worked it produced good smoke and kept a fairly even temperature. Now its 10 months later and already an electrical issue causing the GFCI to trip immediately when it is plugged in. Smoker has been kept in my garage out of the elements and maintained properly. It has become apparent from other reviews that this is a common issue that has been happening for years. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this electric smoker and just stick with a charcoal type.

I can't say enough wonderful things about my electric smoker! I am a busy working mom trying to put tasty healthy dinner on the table and my charbroil electric smoker has been a lifesaver. If I have a weekend off, I brine chicken breasts in buttermilk on Thursday night and boneless pork chops in an apple cider brine on Friday. On Saturday, I make turkey meatloaf and set the smoker for 225. In under 3 hours, I have entrees for 2 weeks. I vac seal some of it and freeze for later. on any given morning, I pull it what ever I am showcasing that day, put it in the fridge to thaw and in the evening I toss the smoked chicken in a salad or make quesadillas or warm the smoked pork, chop it and make grain bowls with veggies or warm up the smoked meatloaf and steam broccoli and dinner is done in no time. Recently, I started smoking chick peas and making Trisha Yearwoods smoked hummus - amazing for after school snacks and lunchbox wraps. Today, I tried smoking queso and it was spectacular! The clean up is easy and, with the thermometer setting, I can 'set it and forget it'. Where has this been all my life!?!

Purchased this smoker 2 Years ago and used it 5 times because of continuous problems with it. Even replaced the thermostat and element in it. The element will not heat again! I'm done. Put it out to the curb for the garbage man.

We bought this smoker in February. We have smoked about everything we can on it and have loved everything. Jerky takes only about 6 hours. It makes everything so easy. The timer and heat settings are a breeze to use, even for someone with zero patience for instructions. I'd recommend this guy for anyone looking for a new smoker.
