Reader Reviews
1. Unit was incomplete -- middle rack supports missing from _sealed_ parts bag inside _sealed_ manufacturer carton. Had nine extra sets of screws and nuts, however, probably to make the bag pass a weight-test. 800 parts number only open during business hours on weekdays, and no way to order missing parts on the Brinkmann website. General impression is shoddy QC, and no attempt to compensate by making obtaining missing parts easy. 2. No temperature control, and unregulated temperature way high for true barbecue smoking (should be 210-230F, was somewhere north of 300F). 3. IF this unit had a thermostat, or some other intrinsic means of regulating the temperature, it might be OK. As it is, I am basically going to have to redesign it in order to make it minimally useful. 4. OTOH, it was cheap, ($59.95US at Lowe's) and even after enhancing it with extra parts (an oven thermostat) it will probably still cost less than than a "real" smoker. IF this unit had possessed competent temperature control and all of its parts, it would be a 4-5 star bargain. As it is, it is pretty awful.
