Long Time BBQ Smoker

Was easy to put together. Had an old Brinkman vertical smoker that was about 20 years that was worn out. This one is a lot bigger than the Brinkman. Does leak a lot of smoke around the door and top. Got some gaskets material for smokers and put around the door and lid and now it still leaks around the bottom of the door. Will have to get some more of the gasket material to seal that area up.

Good with/Some problems

My most important complaint is the thermometer…it doesn't indicate the correct temp I will have to replace it. It takes a lot more than designated time to assemble. The directions could be more clear the door handle was very difficult as to orientation of the parts was unclear. The Hatches are very flimsy both in the attachment to the base and it being securely fastened to the base. I've used it two times and was satisfactory but it's difficult with the thermometer is inaccurate s both times overcooked! It was at least 100+ over?

Needs inprovements

Really 3.5 stars. Thermometer is not accurate, flimsy latches including the door latch. Ash cup fits very loosely sometimes falling off when trying to adjust the airflow.

Well made

Received as Christmas gift. You need more than a screw driver to assemble and the main barrowl was not perfectly round which makes it hard to anchor to the base

Hardware quality stinks

The body of the smoker is very good... the hardware that is included is cheap and almost totally non-functional! The clamps that hold the barrel to the base are garbage and do not work at all... the bolts that hold the clasps are so small and worthless too. Cuisinart needs to step up and include hardware that actually works!

Great smoker

I bought this about 2 months ago and have used it 4 times already. It's a great smoker that holds enough meat/food to feed a lot of people. The only advice I would give is to check on the temp every hour. I need to replenish the charcoal about every 2 hours. It does maintain temp well, though.

Craftmanship issues out of the box

During the parts inspection I noticed one of the brackets wasn't properly bent to achieve a true 90° angle. The thermometer was broken in two pieces. It needs to be replaced. All parts seemed to be accounted for. During a assembly I noticed some of the components were still loose even after being tightened snug. I was able to fix that by adding some washer/lock washers.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
