This item may take approx. 2-3 weeks to ship.

Don't even think about charcoal

I'm someone who's tried both charcoal and electric and I can tell you without a doubt that electric is better and this product in particular is waaay better. I had previously bought a Brinkmann for probably more money that lasted only one season. By the winter it was already burned through the metal.

I too resisted the idea that electric would give as good of a smoking experience. Boy was I going to a lot of trouble for nothing using charcoal. The briquettes would only last about 5 hours and die away. They couldn't get enough oxygen due to the poor design of the Brinkmann. Nuf said. The temperature gauge only lasted a few times as well.

The electric smoker is so much more convenient, consistent, and powerful than a charcoal one it's stupid (not to get it). I have never been happier. My Meco is made out of good materials that are not rusting. I don't honestly have much complaint. Meats come out so much better because of the temperature consistency and the fact that I can leave it on for days if need be. No more tending the charcoal and starting new briquettes.

Oh and as far as the smoking? The wood smokes up just fine with the electric element, you just put some good size wood chunks and they magically turn into a white powder when it's all said and done.

Great Performance at a Good Price

First let me say that I am not a cook, But I have gotten nothing but rave reviews on the BBQ briskets and chicken that I have done on this great little smoker. An eight pound brisket fits quite well on the top shelf, while a chicken and some links snuggle on the bottom shelf. I followed the cooking times given in the Meco instruction sheet for all items, and the results are Great! Both mesquite and hickory have yielded excellent flavors. We can't wait to try some other fruitwoods and rubs.

Given the price of this smoker, I find the quality to be right on. I can, and have, recommended this water smoker to friends and family. It is well made, Very easy to use and very easy to clean up (both grates and the water pan clean up well on the pots-n-pans setting on our dishwasher).

If you are looking for a good, easy-to-use home smoker, look no further ... You've Found It in the Meco.
