Overview
Smoking meat and seafood is the job of this electric smoker, which has a fiberglass-insulated stainless body and a smoke box fed by a heating element. A rheostat sets the temperature, and an LED light shows when the element is on.
The reason to buy is a small, portable smoker that is mostly ready out of the box and carries a restaurant certification. It comes with three racks, a drip pan and a hickory wood sample for seasoning. The limitation is capacity, which suits small batches only.
Who it's for
Home smokers and small commercial kitchens that want a portable electric unit with a rheostat and a restaurant certification will find a good match here. People who need a large cooking area, digital controls or a probe should look at larger smokers.
Pros and cons
- Stainless steel inside and outside
- Fully assembled, ready to season
- Fiberglass insulation reduces heat loss
- Side handles for moving and lifting
- Small capacity for large batches
- Casters ship loose and need attaching
- Dial control, no digital readout
- Dimension figures differ between spec and description
Performance notes
The heating element warms a smoke box, and the rheostat sets a low smoking temperature. Fiberglass insulation inside the stainless shell reduces heat loss, which helps the unit hold a low smoking temperature. The drip pan slides out from under the smoker for cleanup.

Not quite. It arrives fully assembled, but the four 3 inch casters must be attached, and they add 3 3/4 inches to the height.

Three stainless steel grilling racks, a smoke box, a sliding drip pan, a rheostat and a hickory wood sample for seasoning. Four casters are included but need attaching.
Is the Smokin-It Model #1 a pellet or charcoal smoker?
No. It is electric, with a 400 watt heating element, so it needs a 120 volt outlet and does not burn charcoal.
