Promise Women's Portofino Brazillian Brief, Black, M

I have only written one other Amazon review in the past 15-20 years. I did not find this one in the online web reviews. And I researched thoroughly. But thank heavens I found it. This product reeks of quality workmanship. The welds appear to be done by a human rather than a machine. And you can see the workmanship in every ounce of it. The manual is clearly written. And simplicity is the order of the day. But as I was seasoning it, I noticed there was not a lot of smoke coming out the top as it was in the beginning. So I thought I would call the toll free number on the website, expecting a phone tree or some third party sales agent. Instead, some guy answers on the third ring, explains the smoking process to me and why I was seeing the smoke diminish over time, and then proceeded to give me a 10 minute amazing lesson on all things smoking and recipes. I was literally blown away. They have a customer for life.

Absolutely awesome. This is the best smoker. Nothing to break no “biscuits” to buy no WiFi to go out just turn a knob plug in a thermostat for meat temp and let her ride! Stainless steel box is very nice plenty of room and good accessories available. Nice people to deal with and very helpful if there is an issue. Scott talked to me for a good 30 minutes about a cover being a day late and the chicken cooker they make being on back order. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I love my 1400, and I love the support Smokin Tex has given me since purchase. I am new to smoking, and have called and emailed the company many times to get some help. They have been so responsive, and I have been very pleased with the results. Can't believe I've made food this good.

First off quality is good. Nice clean design and door seals well. Tech support is awesome. So why 1 star?..The unit is designed to heat up past point set by couple degrees then shuts off and swings 30 degrees other way. Hard to bbq consistent if temp does stay steady. Bad design. Do your research.

The media could not be loaded.  Great smoker! Only change I would make is that it would go to 300-325 vs just 250. Worth every cent. Much more cooking space than I expected. I upgraded from a "starter" electric smoker that only lasted about 15 months after numerous repairs... and let me tell you, you get what you pay for here. Family and neighbors love everything that has come off of it from brisket to ribs to pork butts for pulled pork sandwiches. Can't be anything out there easier to use... plug it it, load wood chips, turn nob to cooking temp.

This model has been around a long time and there are people who swear by it. That said, I don't like it a little bit and I greatly regret my purchase.Let's start by saying I am not a novice. I am a not a BBQ master, but it is not my first rodeo. I have an old red charbroil barrel that I used forever, but stopped using it because it is a general PITA. I also have a weber gas grill that I have also gotten decent results from. I wanted convenience though. I did some homework and wound up here, spending 2x what I'd have paid for a Masterbuilt with more features.Pros:- Easy to assemble.- Wheels are nice.- Lots of racks.- Looks okay.Cons:- Too small.- Smoke box way too small for what it is supposed to be.- Build construction is not high quality.- Smoke hole should be in rear.- Acrid food tasteI have done 4 cooks with this thing and I am 0 for 4. We are talking about basic brine, rub, cook to temp, eat. That's it. Ribs and pork shoulder, 2 each. The food cooks ok, it just tastes awful.The electric heat element is on the bottom, smoke box above. Smokebox is supposed to hold chunks, but it doesn't. (see pics) I halved a small chunk and it still wouldn't fit. The box is meant for chips, but that insert is another $30. I am cutting my chunks right now or seeking smaller, but will use chips if I keep it. A little foil inside is all you need. You also need to halve your racks or hang them. I knew that going in though. The unit is tiny.Anyway, it smokes fast, but I feel it is too fast. The wood burns hot and smells like a house fire and that permeates the food immediately. Best result I got was soaking the wood, but that should not be necessary. Even then, it was not great, but passable. Sadly, the pork dried a bit, which I have never had happen. Water pan and all.It just delivers too much smoke too soon. I have been using hickory, and not too much. I will try apple tonight.I keep tinkering and am trying a picnic shoulder tonight. I will adjust my review if need be, but I am one more awful cook from FB Marketplace with this thing. My wife keeps asking why I bother since I can do ribs and roasts in the oven low and slow and get perfect results, or I can use one of my 2 other cookers, but I keep telling her this will be better. So far, it is not, and I do not feel I am too blame.

The smoker is as advertised. The construction looks top notch and everything seems to work as published. The temperature controller is accurate and holds temperature consistently.Now, read the size on the details page as you well find the internal size to be a bit small. It easily fit the ham and pork butt I smoked on the first day. It easily fit the chicken I smoked as well. But I am suspect as to whether it will fit a full brisket or a full rack of ribs as the inside width is only 14.5".Smokin Tex says on their website that I can return it within 30 days with no questions asked in the original box with original packaging, however, like an idiot I threw all of that away. Not their fault.Basically, what I've found is that it will work great to smoke anything you can fit in it, however, it won't fit everything I need to fit.

Great smoker. Set it and forget it. Great smoke flavor, just what I was looking for. My pellet grill does Not achieve the flavor that I want But This definitely Does!! Get one for yourself!!
