It works great for smoking things like pork and chicken. It is difficult to keep the heat low enough to do sausage. The fat cooks out and the sausage is crumbly. An electric one might be better for stuff like that.

Here is what mine looks like with a 25lb batch of garlic sausage ready to go.


I think that bass pro sells a similar type of smoker for around a couple hundred bucks.

Be forwarned smoking is very addictive
I have the exact same smoker as FallAirFever. It defintely has limitations on smoking at low temps. The low setting is too hot-so I have to feather mine visually between high and off to get a small flame.

Forget cold smoking with this smoker-but I have many many miles on mine with no issues.
If I had it to do over-I would go with a Bradley smoke generator and find a way to devise a small puck press and make my own pucks.
