Smokenator 2600 & Hovergrill Kit

I've used this for a few cooks now. I've done a couple of pork butts and this weekend I'm going to do 3 racks of ribs. Prior to buying this I was looking at spending $2,000 on a pellet smoker; I think this is a very good alternative for a fraction of the cost.It does a very good job of managing temperature; using the "Minion method" of burning charcoal (put in 60 unlit briquettes and 8 oz of wood and cover with 20 lit briquettes) I've been able to get a good 4 to 5 hours of cooking in.I think it takes a few times of cooking to learn the best times to add water, briquettes, and sweep ashes.

Works like a dream without the need to spend several hundred dollars on a single-use appliance. All you need is your charcoal grill and you can smoke just about anything easily. The hovergrill is a great addition, as on the 26" Weber, it expands the total cooking surface to over 800 square inches. Another plus is that it delivers huge taste without requiring special woods; just use charcoal! Although if you choose to go with a hickory or applewood, those certainly enhance flavors.

Its ok....not as easy to use as advertised. .I've only used it for chicken indirect, it did a pretty good job..not worth the money either!!!

I orded the smokenator and was very excited about all the great reviews. The smokenator says that it can be used for 6 hours without adding more charcoal. It lasted about 2 hours at best. I tried to use it for doing ribs and had to switch over to my gas grill after 2 hours and finish cooking them on the gas grill. I would not recommend anybody spend their money on this item.

I love the charcoal grill and love this product! I read a lot of the reviews from people before buying and I am glad I purchased. Takes a few tries but you can master it! Excellent product! Pricey but I think it is worth the price.

GOOD ITEM

Don't know much about this product since I bought it as a gift for a relative. Haven't heard from the relative so I'm assuming it's working properly. It was shipped pretty fast to my door so I was pleased.

Works as advertised! Used guidelines @ amazingribs.com. Easily holds 250-300F 6 plus hours. Makes managing heat easier than pushing fuel to one side or the snake method.
