Vertical 18" Charcoal Smoker
Product details
Web ID: 9634762Needs redesign
Air flow needs a redesign a bigger charcoal pan with no holes in the bottom I will say it smokes ok for a little bit until the charcoal pan fills with ash then the holes on the bottom fill up with ash and the air adjustment on the bottom fills up with ash and the air flow is choked off and the fire goes out with everything wide open I do have a different brand with a similar design and work really well but I need a bigger one thought it would work well I was wrong I know Cuisinart I s a great product but not this particular item I am disappointed in this item

Long Time BBQ Smoker
Was easy to put together. Had an old Brinkman vertical smoker that was about 20 years that was worn out. This one is a lot bigger than the Brinkman. Does leak a lot of smoke around the door and top. Got some gaskets material for smokers and put around the door and lid and now it still leaks around the bottom of the door. Will have to get some more of the gasket material to seal that area up.

Good with/Some problems
My most important complaint is the thermometer…it doesn’t indicate the correct temp I will have to replace it. It takes a lot more than designated time to assemble. The directions could be more clear the door handle was very difficult as to orientation of the parts was unclear. The Hatches are very flimsy both in the attachment to the base and it being securely fastened to the base. I’ve used it two times and was satisfactory but it’s difficult with the thermometer is inaccurate s both times overcooked! It was at least 100+ over?

Needs inprovements
Really 3.5 stars. Thermometer is not accurate, flimsy latches including the door latch. Ash cup fits very loosely sometimes falling off when trying to adjust the airflow.

18" Vertical smoker
I've already smoked a few things on my smoker. Everything has turned out great

Well made
Received as Christmas gift. You need more than a screw driver to assemble and the main barrowl was not perfectly round which makes it hard to anchor to the base

Hardware quality stinks
The body of the smoker is very good... the hardware that is included is cheap and almost totally non-functional! The clamps that hold the barrel to the base are garbage and do not work at all... the bolts that hold the clasps are so small and worthless too. Cuisinart needs to step up and include hardware that actually works!
