My husband made the best smoked beer chicken in this thing. He really liked how the smoker can be detached without disturbing the chicken when he needed to refill the smoker with wood chips and charcoal. He wasn’t a big fan of the clippers that attach the bottom part to the top...not as sturdy as he would like them to be. For the price, I think this is a great smoker and it does the job! The pictures on the website and on the box are deceiving. This is a small smoker. Don’t be like me - read the fine print! Haha
