My only regret is not getting the bigger version! This smoker is so easy to use, and produces incredible results. I wish I had known how easy it was to smoke foods years ago. I bought the extra rack, and the plastic drying screens to expand the capacity and smoke smaller items. One of the first things I tried was raw jumbo shrimp. 60-90 minutes and these were the best shrimp I ever had!
The smoker itself does a great job keeping the heat at a consistent temperature, and while it seemed somewhat flimsy at first, it's well made and does exactly what it's supposed to do! The front door panel lifts off easily, but also holds in all the smoke during operation. Adding wood chips in the pan is simple with the small door panel so you don't lose all the heat and smoke. You can use this to complete dry meats out to make jerky, or adding some apple cider or water to a tray on the bottom allows food to absorb tons of flavor, but not dry out so you can transfer it to a hot grill for quick searing. I put lean ground beef patties in for about 2 hours, then flash grill for a minute or two and serve. Easily the most flavorful, juicy burgers I've ever had! Finally was able to successfully make incredible baby back ribs myself! And chicken legs turn into a whole new food group after several hours in the smoker, then baked the rest of the way!

Manufacturing Big Chief and Little Chief Smokers
In 1968, the Little Chief smoker along with a line of smoking wood chips were introduced to the sport fishing industry in the Pacific Northwest. The Little Chief was quickly recognized by serious fishermen as the the product of choice for smoking their catch of salmon, trout and steelhead. In the early 1980's the larger Big Chief Smoker was introduced, making them the most popular line of fish smokers sold in North America. They remain favorite today with Anglers and Chefs across the country.

Great smoker!
This is not my first Little Chief. Orderedit because I know they are a good product, and with neat shortages because of people panicking over covid, I figured it may be a good idea to get one before there is a shortage on these smokers. Anyway, it appears that they have made some changes to the Little Chief. The things you put the racks on are different, and I think it's a little wider now than it used to be. The smoker worked right out of the box, no issues with the hesting element (beyond the fact that there is no temperature control, nor a thermometer (but as I said, I've already owned one of these in the past, so I knew that already) only setup involved was screwing the handles onto it, putting in the racks/drip tray, and, of course, plugging it in. I ordered it on the 22nd of May and it is now the 23rd and am already putting it to good use. This thing is great for beef jerky and smoked salmon. Can't wait to start making those again. Currently, to test it out, I have a giant chunk of pork and some really big boneless chicken breasts in it now. Will update this with pics of the food when it's done, if I remember.Anyway, you can't go wrong with a Little Chief.

After 3+ years it's still going strong. No issues. It gets used several times a year, and I clean it each time.

Feels flimsy; but if you are gentle it'll do the job for years

I rely heavily on customer reviews and compose mine with that in mind. I paid full price; no discounts. My father-in-law has the Big Chief version of this that's over 30 years old. His still works like a charm. Its made out of thicker guage material. His is a top loader, mine has the removal front door. The fact that the Little Chief is narrower than the Big Chief means there's less internal volume. Therefore the smoke is intensified in the Little Chief. Overall I have no complaints but I am very careful. It doesn't take much to create a dent in the thin gauge metal. In fact, it came dented on 4 edges. Surprised it didn't come boxed within a box. It just had the manufacturer's box. Fortunately, for those reasons Amazon cut 1/2 off the price, which made it a good deal with the refund.Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2013

I was smoking as we came into the fall weather so it was a bit cooler out. I ended up ordering the insulation cover which helped. But in the meantime I used a heavy old bath towel and clipped it with a hair clip. It actually worked pretty good. No the towel did not burn. It never got hot enough for that to happen... but keep in mind it’s fall weather and I kept a close eye on it.
It took 4-6 hours to do the jerky. There is no temperature regulator, so you get whatever heat is there.
When I did the pepperoni it too took several hours.
The sausage took 2-4 hours... depending on the temperature. I used hard wood flat sticks I sanded down and hung my sausage on the wood and then on the brackets that hold the shelves.
I felt a bit frustrated with the cold weather and the limitation of the heat. I wanted to do a larger batch, but I need a larger smoke house to do it.
My sausages were taking way too long and went into the night/dark, so I had to finish them in the oven. They were smoked and it was still nice.
The only thing is I couldn’t see the temperature gage inside so I would have to take off the door and look, causing heat and smoke loss. Finally I stopped doing that.
The wood chips in the pan burn about an hour. So I would do about three pans of dry chips in the whole process with the sausages.
I made regular garlic kielbasa... Italian... chorizo... cheese... and just regular. I tried different smoke chips. They’re all good.
Next year I’ll smoke more in the summer so I can get good heat in there. But I may just buy a bigger smoker with more control on temperature.
I did manage to get enough smoked meats for the winter. In my freezer now!!
I vacuum sealed them all in bags.
I even smoked the thanksgiving turkey!! Crazy but I managed it!! I pierced it under the wings in the ribs and drove two sticks in it to hang upside down. I had a large tinfoil to catch any drippings. It was the length of the smoker and it was squeezed in there ... just enough for the smoke to circulate. Well it was in there for 5 hours, then I finished it In The oven. The gravy turned out to be smoky. It was different, but nice. Everyone was thrilled to have smoked turkey!! It took 4-5 pans of wood chips. I used hickory mostly, but mixed with some cherry.
I froze the left overs. Smoked turkey meat. Yum! And the stuffing I just did in another large pan to keep it separate.
Overall I would recommend this smoker. Especially for beginners. I didn’t find the book very helpful. I just found YouTube and googled recipes.
Be prepared for your house to smell like smoke after you bring in the sausage. It dissipates eventually... after a few days. It smells glorious!
