I have owned this exact smoker before. When the previous unit rusted through I bought a lesser model from the same company and it does not perform well-charcoal does not burn all the way before it puts itself out. Used the new unit at Thanksgiving and it smoked a 13# bird in 5 hours and still had plenty of heat. It does generate a lot of heat compared to other water smokers but it works very well. It will do 2 4-5 pound chickens in 3-1/2 hours with fabulous results. The only downside is that it can not be left outside or it will rust. The bottom lip on the charcoal pan will collect rain and divert it into the ashes. I would buy this unit again

I purchased the Gourmet Charcoal smoker as the 4th Brinkmann charcoal smoker that I have owned over the last 35 years. The others have been the 'R2D2' standard Brinkmann models. I still have the 2nd one that I ever purchased and it still works. For those of us who have taken the time to learn how to use the smoker as intended, it is simple and produces good smoked meats. I smoke pork ribs, salmon, sausages, chicken breasts, whole catfish (skinned, headed and gutted), and other fish. All turn out well. I use whatever wood I gather from the yard - oak (best), maple, fruit wood, and sycamore, to provide smoke. All work - I don;t recommend buying special woods for smoking. I also use extra racks from the old smokers to layer meats in the smoker and gain capacity..This is a much nicer and slightly heavier built model than the last standard model that I purchased 10 years ago. The separate charcoal pan works nicely and seems to provide a more consistent heat. I smoked baby back ribs last night on the grill using 35 yr old Brinkmann rib racks. They were pronounced "the best that I have done" by my wife's retired chef friend.. I would highly recommend this product.The only downside was that the bottom cylinder part of the smoker was bent and dented on arrival though not enough to be worth the trouble to return the smoker. And not enough to effect the functioning of the smoker. Stiffer packaging for shipping is probably needed.

I bought this smoker for my boyfriend and was not exactly sure what I was getting. I new Brinkman was a good product, but you never know. After using the smoker, I loved it.
