I have had this smoker for over 3 years now. This is a good intro to smoking and will give you an idea of smoking without spending a ton of money. Kingsford has a new high heat charcoal that works great in this smoker. Otherwise, I tended to have temperature problems, tended to be on the low side. The charcoal pan does not have any holes in it so the ash builds up and chokes out the charcoal. I used the new Kingsford charcoal with better results. One tip, don't take the lid off until you are done cooking. Otherwise, all the heat leaves the smoker and takes time to build up again. Adding new coals and water is kind of a pain because of the size and location of the door. Otherwise, I have had really good results.

Basic smoker, but an outstanding value for the price. Arrived before expected, well-packed, easy assembly. Smokes efficiently, although the temperature gauge never goes to "ideal." I'm very pleased with this product.Best Deals for Brinkmann 810-5301-V Smoke'N Grill Charcoal Smoker and Grill
Item is a Cheep Smoker/Grill mass produced in china, the stickers on the bottom of it that say "Made in China" will verify that fact, however, if you know what your doing you can smoke meat on anything, Now the Question "DOES IT WORK" Yes it does and for $39.99 you cannot go wrong!!!!1. If you read the instructions you will be all set!!!!!
2. After its assembled you have to Cure/Season it for two hours and let it completely cool before use, Don't Use Lighter Fluid when doing this!!!
3. The Lid is not ment to fit snug it has to have a release area for the smoke, heat rises so the smoke will billow in the lid, don't be alarmed its not all escaping the grill!!!
4. I didn't like the Warm/Ideal/Hot Temperature gauge so I swapped it for one that measures temperature and used a tiny bit of HVAC Foil Tape to ensure a snug fit.
5. Drilled Five 3/4 inch holes in a dice like pattern on flat bottom of porcelain charcoal pan so it could breath a bit to keep those coals hot and it works 100%....
For the price you cant go wrong at all, works great for a $39 smoker (WalMart Price) and I'm completely pleased with it, you don't like the quality of the build then get the brinkmann 2 door upright box smoker for $69, its a black powder coat smoker higher end and if I had the extra cash I would have went that route.
