We bought this at the suggestion of a friend and couldn't be happier. Our first meal was salmon and it tasted better than barb-b-q grilled, which is how we usually prepare our fish. The set-up was almost too simple and the taste was great. Highly recommend this product if you like smoked flavor.

I purchased this stovetop cooker after watching Emerill live on TV! He was smoking a beef brisket, and I had been only on occasion using a large bulky outdoor smoker. After receiving the smoker from Amazon, and using it on 4 occasions, I find that it does a great job, without any smoke in the kitchen, and cooks the items I have tried in a very short time. If I have a complaint, it is the fact that the stainless steel used becomes terribly discolored and is just about impossible to completely remove the discoloring! However since this discoloring does not do any harm to the smoker, and the smoker works so well, I accept the one problem, and continue to use it for all kinds of food, meats, vegetables, etc. It comes with a small Cameron recipe pamphlet! Well worth the cost if you like smoke flavored foods.

The key to getting the most from this product is to go above what the instructions call for. For instance, if the instructions call for 1 1/2 tablespoons of wood chips, put in 3-4. That will give you the smoky flavor that you are looking for. Also, if the instructions call for medium heat on your stove, go slightly above that (for example, medium setting is 5 set it to 6 or 7. That will not only insure good smoked flavor but it will also cook the food thoroughly and give you the color you are looking for. Be aware that stoves are different and my stove is electric so gas stoves may do the trick if set at medium heat. And finally you may want to extend your cooking time as well 10 minutes or so beyond what instructions call for to get the smoke flavor and tenderness you are looking for. For salmon I usually cook it 45-60 minutes. Hope this helps someone who might be on the verge of throwing their smoker away. :)

I bought this for my boyfriend, who fishes in Alaska and comes home with piles of salmon every year. His male family in South America all have similar portable smokers and when we were down there for the holidays I noticed how the men loved to gather around the smoker with drinks, adjusting their belts and acting manly. He talked about how tasty the fish was nonstop, so when his birthday came up I found this little number and decided to try it.
We invited some friends over for the christening, and we put the little pile of tasty smelling sawdust inside, threw a salmon on top, put on the lid and stared skeptically. After some group discussion and a couple of fire drill jokes we went for it. We were all pleasantly surprised. 20 minutes later, we had a beautiful, moist, "tastes like slow cooked" falling apart salmon that no one could get enough of and everyone wanted to know more about. A slight smell of smoke lingers in the kitchen, but no worse than if you were to cook smoked bacon or any other meat. It didn't create billows of smoke and require evacuation the way some reviewers have said, so I don't know what they did differently. Perhaps our guys opened it on the back porch. I will never know, because the smoker became the urban man equivalent of the fire pit and for what was quite possibly the first time ever, all the men at the party stood gathered around the stove while the women were crowded out of the kitchen and forced just to lounge on the couch with drinks. If they had a 6th star I would nominate it on those grounds alone. Since that night I've gotten multiple emails from the wives of the men at the party requesting the link. Whether it's because the men want it, or the women admire the magical kitchen luring powers I can't say but it seems like everyone else is getting one now.
Smoking purists will turn up their nose. Yes, the sawdust thing seems a little weird. No, you are not adhering to the strictest standards and would probably be laughed at by an serious smokers (or anyone in Texas) but for those of us who weren't going to go all in anyway I think this is a great solution. Great for the urban warrior (seriously, you can about see the chest hair growing while they cook) and pleasing in result. Smoked ribs at home? check.
I bought a sampler pack of the different wood "chips" (which are sawdust, but get the job done) to go with and we've had a few fun nights experimenting so far.

This smoker does exactly as promised. I have used it on ribs, chicken and fish. All smoked to perfection. If a denser smoke is preferred just add more wood. Smoke and then bake as needed. It is the real deal.
