Electric Hot Smoker

I bought this item, wondering if it was going to be another addition to the cupboard full of "used once then stored away" items, but I am sure I am going to use it a lot in future.Ready to use straight from the box, with no assembly required. Comes with some wood-chips ready to be used (which the details online did not mention, so I wasn't sure if I'd have to buy some separately.)Very easy to use, with a clear instruction booklet.Pretty easy to clean too.My first try was smoking a whole chicken, which turned out beautifully.Due to the weather, I set the smoker up in my garage, but even so, although there was a strong (and very appetising) smell of smoke in the garage, there were not great clouds of eye-watering smoke, even in this relatively confined space. Still not something you could use in your house, but the instructions make that quite clear anyway.Well designed, solidly made item. I am very pleased with it.

Despite being made in China the smoker is quite well made and with just a heating element and a basic mechanical timer I would hope it will last.No smoking wood dust came with the smoker so I was pleased that I had ordered the Variety Wood Dust Pack as well. Delivery took a week so as soon as it arrived I wanted to try it out and my first go was with a whole chicken. There are three whole chicken recipes listed in the enclosed instruction book and I went for the place in boiling water first one. The smoking went well and the flavour was to my liking but I would not under any circumstances have eaten the chicken when I first took it out the smoker. The juices were not running clear and on cutting into the joints it was evident that the chicken was very undercooked. I am looking forward to trying many more recipes but will take with a pinch of salt cooking times. I would advise anyone buying this item to also purchase a temperature probe so that you can ensure food is safely and correctly cooked.

Didn't come with a uk plug and no adapter

It's so easy to use. Set it up , set timer and get on with other things. Like other reviewers I bought the aluminium circular flan trays from Wilko together with their rectangular trays (also £1) which fit on the wire trays perfectly. I wetted the wood dust and it therefore produced the smoke towards the end of the process. I lightly coated the trout fillets with some honey and they could have done with another 5 mins (making 30 mins total) but they were quite large (fish weighed 2 lbs each).I used it in the garage but had to open the door towards the end.I don't usually eat the trout I catch but I do now !

Bought one for my son and he likes it. Just received mine today. Neither had UK plugs and mine had no adaptor. Not a big problem, but silly.

This is exactly what I wanted to replace my old smoker that was difficult to keep lit outside in even mildly windy weather. No problem with this one and I have had great results with it so far.

My old Abu meths camping smoker died and those things are such a pain to clean I decided to try something else. This is shipped from the Czech republic which took two weeks and cost £10 (but no trouble with import charges). It's a large outdoor electric smoker with room for two big slabs of salmon. Comes with beechwood chips to start you and a good recipe book.First try got two lovely sides of hot smoked salmon. Very impressed. Meat sounds a bit fussier because you may need to start or finish in an oven. But for fish and vegetables this looks a winner. And you can clean it in minutes.

Very fast delivery.Very easy to use.Smokes Trout fillets in 25 mins.Couldnt ask for more.I use a small foil tray for the wood dustIt fits the hot plate perfectly (Wilkinsons £1.00 for 10 ) They can be re used a few times.If you want easy at home smoking this is the kit for you.
