Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was unsure about this product. How can I truly get quality smoked food without using an outdoor hunkin large smoker with lots of wood chips??? #1 Pay attention to the amount of wood chips it suggests putting in. I doubled it and my husbands steak was too smoked in his opinion. Our fish however was super smoked but I loved it! Also, cooking suggested times were quite accurate. #2 very nice smoke control. I had envisioned the entire kitchen a smokey fog...NOT the case. As much smoke as a rice steamer would produce steam. Didn't cause a smokey environment at all. #3 Loved the adjustable vent it has. Other smokers don't have this feature. #4 Filled the house with a lovely winter light smoke scent. Everyone who came over was marveling at how amazing our house smelled. Aroma therapy all the way! #5 Cleans up great! Except for the very bottom part which is the base which doesnt matter anyhow. The inside pieces cleaned fast and easy even though lots of muck stuck on. Appeared initially like I would have to soak overnight but it came right off as soon as I attempted to clean. Truly non-stick. #6 MY ONLY COMPLAINT: Challenging to lift off top when ready to remove food. There is no handle attached. Nordicware please fix. A beautiful product and a complete asset to our kitchen but what a disappointment with the lid. This product still gets 100% satisfaction from me. Excellent, despite the lid.
