Nice. Compact is definitely important under our hoods. I ended up going with one single 500ml Radium and very happy with it.

I find this humorous.

SO my firs smoking was a complete failure. But not to do with myself. The freaking smoker doesn't smoke unless you basically turn it into an oven and crank it to 350 degrees. The second the temp drops to 250, smoke dissipates.

The second and larger issue are the temp swings. It's an analog rotating dial with low, med, and high settings. After screwing around with it for 3 hours, I discovered the heating element is basically just an on/off. It'll go up to 275 degrees and then shut off. Won't turn back on until it's at 200 degrees. A 75 degree variance is ridiculous.

Already contacted CHar Broil customer service to ask about the issues or return this junk. Going to just Mastercraft next most likely.

Nope. This is strictly a vacation since she has never been to Disney and I haven't had a damn week off in 3 years. I just want to make it special for her. We've only been dating for 2 and a half years anyways. I'll ring it when I am 32-ish.

:hello::hello::hello::hello:

Rep Freely and Proudly.

That's the same kind I am now looking at. The older model is better I suppose from reviews. Also getting a 3 year warranty through Amazon for it. Char-Broil is now on my banned list for life. I just feel bad for my UPS guy. He dropped it off yesterday and will be picking it up today while dropping off the new one next week.

Madwi, how bad are your temp swings on your smoker? Do you use a probe instead of just the gauge on the smoker? I'm debating on giving mine another shot with an actual probe thermometer and see if temp is more even inside instead of relying on the built in gauge.

It stays very even with no swings unless I open the door, of course.
I use a probe with the readout on the top of the smoker. Its accurate and even enough to get great results from whatever I throw in there.

This one is about 6 years old. Worked great since day 1.

I just ordered silicon smoke sealer for the door to better insulate and a maverick probe so I will know exact temps inside. I think the built in gauge absolutely sucks. The CS rep I talked with said low should be roughly 200 degrees, med 30 degrees, and high at 350 degrees. Temps swing of roughly 30 degrees is normal supposedly. Still seems drastic to me. I also ordered pellets and an amaze smoke box.

I'm losing my damn mind at work. I have nothing to do

I'm sitting in an empty garage all day. It's lonely
