Landmann 26" Electric Smoker-Black-With Viewing Window

Have to get temperature up and have your meats ready to go because it will lose heat fast once you pop open the door. But once you have used it a few times, you will love it.

The Smoker is exactly as described, my husband has been smoking everything, steak, pork butt, apricot glazed chicken and we have certainly enjoyed the food. He uses hickory, pecan, apple, etc. wood chips.

OK Im two days into this smoker and I am not impressed in the least. When the door is latched shut there is an 1/8' gap between the frame and door. Allowing heat and smoke to escape. I bought some high temp gasket to seal off the door. To no avail, it still doesn't hold temperature. Set at the high temp, the internal thermometer will only reach about 180 degrees. Im not sure how accurate that is without placing my own thermometers in there. Keep in mind Ive used this thing twice. First attempt was basic hamburgers. I could fit about 6 on each of the racks. There are three racks in total. Typically burgers in the smoker should take around 30-45 minutes. It took about 90. The bottom rack were done to my liking. Middle rack were medium well. Top rack were medium rare. So this proves there is not very good heat distribution throughout this device. I paid just over $100 for this one. Im very disappointed and will probably just give it away. I wish I had just paid the extra money to get something a little better. Overall I would not recommend this product for anyone who is looking to do some serious meat smoking.

I'm going to give a 4, just because the packaging looks good AND it arrived almost 2 weeks early. :) This was purchased as a gift, so I won't know how it works until after Christmas.
