I got this smoker from work for 40 years of service, the first meat I smoked were two beef briskets, which turned out very well, I put in some wood for smoke flavor, and it was too heavy.  The smoker performed better than I expected.  The next time, I smoked chicken breasts with no wood chips added, just soaked in brine overnight, wrapped in bacon and they turned out fantastic!  Couldn’t be happier with my smoker, even came with a cover.
