  Shoddy workmanship June 5, 2008 Although I have previously owned a similar Brinkman Elcetric Smoker with a temp control dial and a thermometer, this new smoker appears to have been designed and built by people who have virtually no idea of the word craftsmanship. Besides having a missing part from the sealed plastic bag, I had to bend all three handles so I could line up the pre-drilled screw holes. I had to jerryrig a missing V clip--a support for the water pan. Because of all this, it took more than two hours to assemble. Shoddy workmanship, no temp gage, and no heat control make it a reach for me to even give this smoker two stars.
  Excellent Smoker for Ribs July 10, 2006 4 out of 9 found this review helpful
We have a Brinkmann 810-7080-7 Gourmet Electric Smoker & Grill and when using it the first time we were really impressed with the end product, pork spareribs. We put a dry rub on the ribs including: 1=McCormick Grill Mates, Mesquite 2=Garlic Salt 3= Onion Salt 4=Lemon Pepper We put blocks of Hickery wood around the electric coil in the bottom of the smoker. We are not sure if the ribs had either a Mesquite or Hickkery smoke flavor, but they were outstanding.
  2/3 of a smoker, half a company. July 3, 2005 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
1. Unit was incomplete -- middle rack supports missing from _sealed_ parts bag inside _sealed_ manufacturer carton. Had nine extra sets of screws and nuts, however, probably to make the bag pass a weight-test.
800 parts number only open during business hours on weekdays, and no way to order missing parts on the Brinkmann website. General impression is shoddy QC, and no attempt to compensate by making obtaining missing parts easy.
2. No temperature control, and unregulated temperature way high for true barbecue smoking (should be 210-230F, was somewhere north of 300F).
3. IF this unit had a thermostat, or some other intrinsic means of regulating the temperature, it might be OK. As it is, I am basically going to have to redesign it in order to make it minimally useful.
4. OTOH, it was cheap, ($59.95US at Lowe's) and even after enhancing it with extra parts (an oven thermostat) it will probably still cost less than than a "real" smoker.
IF this unit had possessed competent temperature control and all of its parts, it would be a 4-5 star bargain. As it is, it is pretty awful.
