EAST OAK PES23001 Smoker, Black

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.

The East Oak smoker with glass window has worked very well for me. I've had it about a year and a half now, use it frequently, and am very happy with both the smoker and the customer service at East Oak. The smoker is well made, durable, and easy to use. That combined with the customer service has made an enjoyable experience. The outside temperature will affect cooking time and temperature, and can be compensated for. The included temperature probe works very well and is accurate. I like the glass window as it makes it easy to check on what you're cooking, as opening the door let's out heat and can add to cooking time. The door seals well, temperature is easy to maintain with the digital readout and controls. The smoker has proven easy and enjoyable to use. I keep the inside clean with soap and water and a grill and smoker cleaner. Which works well on the glass. Thank you East Oak

Have only used once. Good quality. Maintained temperature well even in colder weather. Plenty of space inside. Side loaded wood chip tray works well. Much easier than my old charcoal smoker. Good investment.

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.

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.
