Camerons Large Stovetop Smoker - Stainless Steel BBQ Smoker Box w/Hickory & Oak Wood Chips & Recipes- Indoor Outdoor Use on Any Heat for Smoking Meats, Veggies & Seafood- Grilling Gift for Fathers Day

This is very sturdy and simple to use. I was planning to smoke pastrami today, but it's cold windy and raining. I love my Treager, but that's the failure hat trick for an outdoor smoker. Loaded it up for a long slow smoke with 3 lbs of the venison I had been brining for 2 weeks, and 2 tablespoons of hickory chips, large burner low for 4 hours. Turned off the burner and let it rest undisturbed for 2. Increadibe!

So usually product reviews can be a hit or miss. :-( This time however you guys were spot on with your reviews about this stove top smoker.!! I am so very glad I bought this product. Too be honest though, I wasn’t expecting it to work as well as it actually does . I have had this for almost a month now and I have used it at least twice a week every week. Sweet potatoes ( omg amazing) regular potatoes, onions, brussel sprouts ( trust me), pork butt roast, bbq chicken, tandoori chicken ( melt in your mouth results) , sausages, Ahi tuna …… I even cooked Basa ( plain boring white fish) which turned out soooo good.! I’m going to smoke salmon next which I already know is going to be “too die for”. Now it is true that it does leaks a very small amount of smoke once it heats up , just wrap a strip of foil over each end once the lid is on and that takes care it. The house does not retain that smokey smell either which is great. Also, and I found this out the hard way, do not use much more than 2 tbs of the wood chips. The smokey flavor will be way too strong ( and not in a good way). I am so glad I purchased the larger size. You can fit so much food on there that you will be able to have leftovers if you are cooking for only two people, or a whole meal for 4 people. Definitely one of my best purchases ever.!! If you are on the fence with this one ( like I was for months) just go ahead and buy the damn thing already. lol This product is absolutely hands down worth every penny .!!

My Cameron smoker works great! Solidly built made of heavy stainless steel, great design, and worth the price, in my opinion. I purchased the “Original stovetop smoker” and so far I’ve smoked a Fillet of salmon, 4 skinless boneless chicken breast and a small slab of baby back ribs, all of which were delicious! For the ribs I placed SLIGHTLY more of the wood pcs than the recommended 1/12 Tb, only because I wanted to make sure that the wood would not char out before the meat was saturated with the smoke flavor and that worked out quite well! I did decide to place my ribs in the oven after they were a bit over 3/4 of the way cooked only because it was getting late and I wanted to get dinner on the table at a certain time. Had I left the ribs in the Cameron smoker to completion, I know I would have changed out the tin foil I’d covered the drip plate with because the meat drippings were beginning to cast off a burned smell and I would have wanted to eliminate that. Oh! And yes! I DID cover the drip plate with foil for easy clean up. As for heat retention, My Cameron Smoker absolutely holds great heat! As for the claim that it keeps the kitchen smoke free, I’d have to disagree as it relates to the smoker I received. I chose to cover my smoker with tinfoil. The four corners of the smoker does allow for smoke to escape design wise. I’m sure there’s a reason for it, maybe so it doesn’t STEAM the meat and allows for some of the moisture to escape but, that only my guess. After placing the tinfoil over the top and covering the top corners, the smoke smell was much less. Not a deal breaker for me but may be for others. My smoker came with 2 small containers of wood pulp/small chips. Hickory and Oak. I’ve only used the Hickory so far and I will in the future try the other species of wood when smoking other types of meat. Clean up was made easier by using the foil but I’d like to know if I will be able to get my Cameron smoker insides back to its original beauty and luster! The inside definitely show signs of high heat from the chip burning. BUT, if that isn’t possible, it’s still not a deal breaker! I just like my pots and pans to LOOK pretty and new inside & out but it’s fine. The outside of my smoker is still in great condition! All in all, My Cameron indoor/outdoor smoker is a Good fit for me!
