EAST OAK 30" Electric Smoker for Outdoors | Up to 6× Longer Smokes on a Single Load | Side Chip Loader for Uninterrupted Smoking | Bigger Batches with 725 sq in Cooking Area

The smoker was easy to assemble and the wheels make it very portable. There were no flaws in any of the smokers parts or casing. Seasoned it twice then cooked a Boston Butt on the 3rd day and it turned out perfect. Clean up is easy. The controls are easy to use and the meat thermometer works great and is very accurate. I highly recommend this smoker.

I can't say enough about this brand and the customer service. I will try...I've had the smoker for over a year now and I've used it quite a bit. I've smoked all types of proteins. Such as the most common - chicken, beef, and fish. No issues with the temperature control (although I wish it got hotter than 275f). The heating element didn't take too long to bring temperature to the set point. But you mileage may vary due to various outdoor temps. The unit sealed to perfection. Funny thing is that the first time I used the smoker and when I opened the door, I was blasted with a cloud of smoke that was unreal. Now, it wasn't a safety issue in terms of heat, it was just the volume of smoke that released - which was impressive. There timer appeared, at least to me, functioned correctly. The smoker is easy to move because of the handle and the 2 wheels. I also wanted to not that the slick design make it look like a refrigerator. I was asked about that many times and I told them what it was, they couldn't believe how great it looked. Unfortunately, the unit would not hold temperatures unexpectedly . It reached temps well above 275F and would error out and shut down the heating. So, as a reader, your asking yourself "why was 5 stars given if the smoker failed on this person?!?!" . I'll tell you why. It was East Oak's customer service. I wrote them to find out where I can find the thermostat kit for the smoker. At that time I thought I was past the warranty period and decided that I could repair the smoker myself. Anyway, I was sadly informed by EO that they don't sell the kit. Instead of them leaving me in a lurch that wanted to know the issue I was having and they actually made things right after a few emails and a video. The person that I was dealing with, (yes it was only one person) was a blessing. They were very professional and were very concerned that I had an issue with one of their products. All I can say is that the customer service was one of the best experiences I've had with any manufacture - hence the 5 starts.

I recently started using this electric smoker and I’m honestly impressed with how easy it is to use and how good everything turns out. The temperature stays consistent, which makes smoking meat so much less stressful, especially for beginners. I’ve made ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and even smoked mac and cheese, and everything has come out flavorful, tender, and juicy. I also love that it doesn’t take a ton of effort to keep it going like a traditional smoker. Just set the temperature, add your wood chips, and let it do the work. Cleanup is pretty simple too, which is a huge plus. If you’re looking for a smoker that gives amazing flavor without being complicated, this is definitely worth it!

This is a fantastic smoker. I had a different brand that I tried on Amazon last year but it was a major hassle and did not smoke well at all. I was constantly having to adjust the temperature and the smoke would just stop. However, this East Oak smoker is excellent. First, the thing actually smokes! It makes our meat taste like the wonderful meats we had in Kansas City - which is famous for their BBQ. The meat comes out tender, moist and extremely flavorful. The glass door is a plus as you can see inside without having to open it. It comes with a thermometer which works fine and the "set it and forget it" feature of the electronic thermometer is perfect. I do routinely check my meats because I tend to be a perfectionist about the smoked quality but the smoker makes the entire process super easy. I love this smoker!!! I never thought it could be this much fun to smoke our own meats. Thank you East Oak!!! The price is very reasonable as well. We did buy the stand for the East Oak smoker as well as we did not have a place to put the smoker otherwise.

I have to give this four stars for one reason: poorly thought out internal sizing. The cooking industry uses full, half, and quarter-sized sheet pans as a standard for sizing. The internal racks of this unit are 15"x12". A half sheet pan is 18"x13" and a quarter-sheet pan is 13"x9". That means you can't fit one half sheet pan on a rack and you can't fit two quarter sheet pans on a rack, only one quarter sheet pan with leftover space. The same thing goes for almost all the disposable aluminum pans you buy as those are typically sized the same way. That means you have to cook directly on wire racks to optimized available space and that means a lot more mess and cleanup. I have a pretty ridiculous cooking setup at home and none of my dozens of pans fit optimally in this smoker. As far as functionality goes this product does a great job. It's simple to assemble, easy to use, and does a great job of smoking with minimal effort and great results. It does scratch easily on the outside though, so beware of that. It's light enough to pick up and carry inside and outside, which I have to do because I live in an isolated mountain area of WNC and can't leave it outside due to bears. Item arrived dented in one corner but still fully functional so it didn't bother me enough to go through the return process since you have to cut the shipping box apart to get it out. There's no taping that back together for return shipping! I did not take the star off for the damage, I took it off for the poor decision in internal sizing. If they want a five start product then it needs to be designed for industry-standard pan sizes internally just like every oven, in my opinion.

I love my East Oak 30” Electric smoker . I’ve used it 3 times now I’ve made Steak, ribs, chicken sausage and bacon wrapped cream cheese Jalepenos. Takes about 30 minutes to preheat and start smoking using a full box of wood chips at 275, I just smoke with the chip box lid off. For2 -4 hour smoke you only to load wood chips 1 time. Easy to wipe down with scrubby sponge when warm with a Little soap and warm water keeps the glass clean.. love it!! Shipped and packed well.. power cord is about 4ft long. Mine sits on a tempered glass table under a covered patio . No heat issues and is very Sturdy. Door seals and only smoke comes out from the vent.

Love this smoker. I have trying for years some briskets, ribs, chicken, and others, and it was awful. With the East Oak you just cannot go wrong. I have since smoked brisket, ribs, a whole turkey, whole duck, chicken and corn and became like professional pitmaster over night. I am literally using it at least every other week. I just upset I didn't know about this years ago. The key difference to me is other smoking methods requires the wood for the heat. In the East Oak is electrically controlled and wood chips are only required to provide smoke. Therefore the temp stay consistent and you can set it, and forget it. Make sure you purchase a your wireless thermometer. There is one included with the unit but it's wired.

I've had the East Oak 30" smoker for a little less than a month now, and have used it five or so times already, with a good bit of food in it each time. I'm currently waiting for three pork shoulders to reach temperature. After having three different MasterBuilt smokers, and having to replace multiple parts on each of them, I owed it to myself to give another setup a chance. And (so far) I'm really glad that I did. I went with the solid front, black, 30" electric smoker. I feel like it's as if someone took a MasterBuilt smoker, identified the common failure and annoyance points, corrected them, and improved on the whole thing. The wood chip loading is extremely simple and convenient. There's a very sturdy drawer on the side that pulls straight out, no need to twist or anything. And instead of holding a palm full of chips, it holds probably two cups. They aren't kidding, a full drawer of chips will get you 3-4 hours of smoking, where I was getting about 45 minutes with past smokers. The drip tray is conveniently "disguised," front and center of the unit. There's no awkward drip collector hanging off the back. It's another very simple pull out drawer, easy to access, and actually makes sense. No fumbling around the back to clean up after you're done. The water pan in this thing is so much better designed, and easier to work with. It's a simple square pan that has drippings channeled into it by another tray. There's no awkward balancing of an oddly designed contraption. Just grab it when you're done, empty, and clean. The control panel is in a nice spot too. Easy to read, easy to access. Past smokers I've had always had a weird angle to the panel, it would catch glare in the sun, and I would have to hunch over and cover it to be able to see. I don't know if it's the design, or what, but this one is so much easier to see and operate. I had problems with past smokers operating in colder weather. Anything below about 30⁰ and it just didn't want to turn on. The East Oak smoker made us some beautiful chickens a few weeks ago, in single digit weather. There's only really two things that I can complain about. The smoke exit vent doesn't close as much as I would have liked it to. It is so much easier to adjust than prior smokers. It's got a nice knob on it, and glides easily into place. But I do like to basically close it completely for maximum time the smoke is in the box. It closes about 2/3 of the vent, it's be nice if it was capable of closing all the way. And... aswith any electric smoker... temperature maintenance. It is, however, a MUCH tighter temperature range than prior smokers. In the past, I would see pretty big swings from actual vs set temperature. Sometimes greater than 100⁰. The East Oak smoker seems to keep the bok temperature within about 20⁰-25⁰. Which is about as close as one can expect with an electric smoker... I've been setting it at about 10⁰ below what I want to smoke at, and everything has turned out great. End of the day, I'm not a competitive BBQ enthusiast. I'm just a guy who likes to cook, and take my family, friends, and neighbors some goodies. This thing is amazing for my needs. And I registered it when I unboxed it. Hopefully, if there's ever a need, East Oak will honor their warranty. Other reviews mention that they do, so, I'm excited about all the food this little guy will help with :)

First this device is China made but delivered from US, being with an US plug and 110V. Had to buy an transformer. After the first use I cleaned the water tank and the fat collector pan, with soap and water, and parts of the galvanization already came off. The rolls at the bottom that are meant to let you move it around, are fixed with pins that ate too long and scratch all over the floor. The temperature display is Fahrenheit only. The remote control works up to 3 meters, which makes it pretty useless. Definitely not worth the money.

Fast shipping and easy to set up and use

Well packaged, straight forward startup instructions and install. I looked at several and can confirm this one heats up well and easy to use. Not a fan of the suggested recipes but otherwise a happy customer!

The East Oak smoker is a solid unit. With all smokers I would suggest purchasing a separate thermometer. I've smoked twice with my East Oak, very pleased with results Customer service is very good, they respond next day, answered few of my questions and resolved a minor issue.
