No cooky

For the particular smoker that this was made (Brinkmann), the heating element never gets the meat smokey or hot enough. The smoker was worthless using charcoal. At least the heater coil did keep it warmer.

Temperature Control
Date:March 26, 2010
I have been getting excellent results from my electric smoker for three years now. I control the temperature by draping a pair of old bath towels over the smoker. By using two towels on cold or windy days, one towel on milder days, and none on hot days, I can keep the temperature needle right in the middle. For finer control, adjust the towel to cover less of the smoker exterior.
Use old towels, because the smoke stains and smell will never come out.

electric smoker converter
Date:February 1, 2010
used the smoker once since getting the eletric converter. Smoked some summer sausage, I think it needs to come with a bigger tray for the wood chips, fit was perfect and did a great job.

Used this converter to make a smoker out of a old freezer! It works great and all of my friends love the smoked goodness!! Keeps my big freezer smoker at about 200 degrees which is perfect for smoking! I did use a bigger pan for more hickory shavings so i dont have to open the door as often!!

electric smoker conversion
Date:July 29, 2009
Good quality You have to get used to the one setting extra hot took a while to get the right temperature by venting But it is a lot better than using charcoal to maintain temperature.

Smoker Electric Converter
Date:June 23, 2009
This is my second electric converter. The first lasted about ten years and may have lasted longer if it was kept clean of grease around the base or where it comes through the metal. I still need to keep the smoker covered or at least out of the wind for consistency but with the help of a remote thermometer it’s hard to go wrong.

Needs a thermostat
Date:May 4, 2009
The product works as designed, However it's a cheap device, little more than a charcoal lighter which does a really marginal job.
With a thermostatic control it would be acceptable, without, it is a poorly designed waste of money as far as I am concerned.
My previous smoker, an electric had a thermostatic adjustment, and I expected for the price I paid, that the converter I purchased would have one too.
I purchased the converter so as not to have to manually modulate the smoker temperature as when smoking/slow cooking with charcoal. Without the thermostatic control I still have to monitor the cook and adjust the temperature unlike the electric smoker I used to own.

Electric Smoker Converter not good
Date:February 11, 2009
I used the converter twice and it won't heat the meat above 140 degrees. I have to finish off the meat in the oven in the house. I was excited to get this item and I have been VERY disappointed.

Smoker Electric Converter
Date:February 3, 2009
I purchased the Smoker Electric Converter and tried to use it as soon as I recieved it. The temp outside was about 45 degrees and I couldn't the temp in the smoker pass 110 degrees. It didn't work for me at all. I plugged the Converters cord into the outlet to see if that would give me more heat, but nothing worked. I'm really not satified with the product and as for the ribs I was trying to smoke, I finished cooking them in the stove. Thanks

Jerky and deer summer sausage
Date:January 8, 2009
I purchased the electric smoker converter and installed it in a home made electric jerky dehydrater-summer sausage cooker . I installed a thermostat and fans in the cabinet 2x3x60 inches. I have installed racks to hang sausages and three sets of Cabelas jerky racks with screens to dry deer. I have pushed it to the limit , especially with drying over a hundred deer and counting for me and my hunting buddies. Not one minutes trouble with the electric converter element. It will surely GET ER DONE.
