I used Baby Back ribs (spare ribs may need a little longer time), with 2 TB of hickory. (Cameron's brand for stovetop smoking). The best advice I can give is don't forget to line the drip tray with heavy foil! I had the vents closed, and absolutely no smoke came out of the kettle. All I could smell was a mild hickory and meat cooking smell. Towards the end of the cooking time however, the drippings from the ribs started smoking and I could smell something burning. The drippings had really burnt on to the foil. The ribs were just a tiny bit dryer than we were used to so I will be putting a cup of apple juice in the drip tray next time. I think that will stop the rib grease from burning in the drip pan too. UPDATE: Putting apple juice in the foil lined drip tray worked perfectly! The vents were kept open a tiny bit as recommended in the instructions when using the wet method. Result, juicy, very moist ribs!
This is truly an amazing piece of cookware. I used a gas burner on the stove, but one can also use a gas or charcoal BBQ for the heat source. The instruction booklet is small but very informative. Experimentation is part of the fun!. If you keep to the 200 degrees or so, the cooking times are pretty accurate. I left the burner on medium and the temperature never moved from 200 deg. When I took the cover off to test the meat or apply sauce, the temperature did drop about 50 degrees, but it went back up In a couple of minutes. By the way, it took almost 30 minutes for my kettle to get to 200 deg. on my gas burner. But they said to start timing the cooking from when the smoke appears, which was less than 5 minutes after turning the burner on.
Clean up was fast and easy. Nothing stuck to the food tray, and the foil in the drip tray went into the trash. The wood chips were black but they didn't smell burnt. I added a bit of water as suggested to be sure they were completely out, then dumped them into the trash. There really was nothing to clean. It is very easy to be successful with this kettle smoker and I highly recommended
UPDATE 6/24: PIZZA!!! I just made my first pizza in this smoker. To my amazement IT GOT CRISP! My home made crust was medium thickness and I smoked the pizza for 20 minutes. I was too impatient to let it go another 5 minutes, but although the top was not as brown as it could have been, the bottom was nice and crisp. I used a little spaghetti sauce on the bottom, smoked corn on the cob, (left over from a rib dinner), fresh spinach, and mozzarella on top. The corn did not get over smoked because it was on top of the sauce with spinach and cheese over it. The cheese got a nice smoky flavor as did the crust. Two suggestions: 1. Try not to press down on the crust after it is in the pan. If the crust pokes down through the holes it will burn. 2. Eat this as soon as you take it out of the smoker to keep the crispness. Of course one can always re-heat it for breakfast and get it crisp again! Honestly, you won't believe how good this is. I just ordered several more flavors of Camerons smoking chips. Next pizza...pulled pork with the bourbon/oak chips.
UPDATE: 12/19/16. This is still my favorite kitchen appliance and I have found a new use for it. I wanted to make steamed BAO (Chinese dumplings, meat and veg. filled buns) and did not want to spend money on a bamboo steamer. Purchased the 10 inch steaming papers which fit perfectly in this. Water in the bottom of the smoker (about 2-3 inches) and heat on high. VOILA! steamed buns!!!
I did both indoor, and outdoor cooking on a balcony. Indoors I used gas stove. On the balcony I used portable gas stove which you can find on Amazon easily, as most of Asia uses them for cooking.
For indoors cooking you really want to have your windows open, or have an exhaust vent to the outside. I don’t have an exhaust to the outside, I have a recirculation stove hood, which does not eliminate the smell itself, just dissipates it. Now if you don’t open windows, you will not end up with smoke in your house, and your alarm will not go off, but a strong smoke smell will float all over the house, and despite it smells nice when cooking, you don’t want it to stay long, which smoke smell tends to do.
Outdoors cooking with portable gas stove is a breeze though. Your apartment neighbors will not notice literally anything, and results will be the same.
Now on the results. One word. IMPRESSIVE. I smoke-cooked sweet potatoes and chicken. If I had this thing before, I would skip buying my pellet grill for several hundreds. This thing is far more superior, when it comes to the results. And all with FAR simpler design. My grill needs electricity, has electronics, fan etc. This thing gets you better results with no moving parts whatsoever (except the thermometer) leave alone electronics! It is simple and effective (which makes me think why it costs 90 bucks, but I give it to the designers and engineers who did a great job and it’s still much cheaper than pellet grill). The smell of the food comes out great with 2 tablespoons of chips! It cooks thoroughly. It stays juicy. All with little attention of controlling the gas under it to keep the temp at 200F.
The only design con I can think of is cleaning. Inside is made of rust-resistant steel, which is good and will not leave anything in your food except iron which is again fine, but since there is no coating cleaning it fully clean is hard or even impossible. But you don’t really need to break your back. You need to treat insides than don’t touch your food more like grill, than a pan. The tray where food stays cleans easily though. So no nasty things in your food.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase so far.
UPDATE. After several months of use, I am decreasing the rating to 4 stars. Several reasons:
1. If you don't clean the item thoroughly, then creosote is going to collect on the walls, and make your food taste like you smoked it over the tailpipe of a pickup truck
2. Item is very hard to clean
3. Smoking indoors without a powerful ventilation going outside is hardly an option, as your whole house will smell like there's a fire.
4. Unfortunately it cannot fully replace grill, since a steak will not be a steak in this smoker, it will be something else, a brisket, just meat, but not a steak (and god forbid don't do wet smoking with the beef, don't repeat my mistake, you'll get boiled beef with weird smoke flavor).
