I would purchase again

Used my smoker for the first time, smoking a whole chicken. Temperature set at 250 degrees and held for the entire time line for 5 hours. Very happy!!

I have had my Meco Smoker since November 2005

Makes great smoked Turkey or whatever you want to put in it. I cover the water pan in foil for easy cleanup. I have had to replace the controller as well as the heating element a time or two in the last 17 years. But just follow the instructions and this thing gets the job done easily.

Awesome Smoker!

No wood or charcoal to buy! Just plug in in and add some soaked mesquite or you favorite chips to the pan below the heating element. We love it, and ours is now two years old and looks great! Not a spec of rust on it as its made with a heavier gauge metal than others. I like it because I can remove the top portion and use the bottom as a grill. I would recommend it to all my friends and family. I just bought another for my mother and sister which commented on how good the smoked loin was that we cooked for them on ours! Glad they finally came back in stock so I could snag one!

Excellent smoker

Smoker came within a few days. Put it together and it is smoking like a champ. Love the large pan for water. soup, broth, etc. to help flavor the meat. Excellent smoker for the cost. A must have to compliment other grills in your outdoor kitchen.

Assembly instructions are not the best!

The bolts, screws and nuts came loose in a bag, the pictures in the instructions did not label the hardware very well, making it a tad tough for this 60+ grandma to assemble. After a bit of frustration, I got the thing put together. Had a little difficulty getting the controller into the heating element as it required some muscle and arthritic hands don't do that well. Just wanted to let folks knowable this if they have the same limitations. All that being said, I am looking forward to trying it out!

Piece of Junk

Brand new this summer. Used it a total of three times. The heating element cuts in and out causing heat to dissipate, prolonging cook time and essentially ruining not only the food, but the entire experience. Nothing more fun than standing over a hot smoker on a muggy summer evening, manually holding the heat controller/heating element connection in place trying to coax the stupid thing to finish cooking your meal. Cheaply made, poor workmanship, and since it's too late to get my money back, it's going out curbside tomorrow headed to the scrap heap where it belongs. R.I.P.

Question:
What are the advantages / disadvantages / limitations of a "water" smoker. What's different? ?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Kirby. The biggest advantage of a water pan during smoking is to help meats retain moisture during long "low and slow" cooking. The water pan can also be filled with other flavor-inducing liquids besides water.

Question:
I have always been intereted in an electric smoker, but thus far havev only used charcoal/wood. What is the recommended clean-up procedure for electric? Thanks!Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Gadget Guy. Maintenance on electric smokers is typically minimal, simply remove the ash left from smoldering wood - I typically have used a shop-type vacuum to clean them out.

Question:
My meco heating element is bad. It is 14" in diameter but your replacement elements say they are 16.8" in diameter. My meco smoker is 16.8" in diameter, so obviously a 16.8" elementary would be too big. Do you have a 14" element?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Darryl. We do not have a smaller Meco element for your smoker. You might want to reach out directly to Meco with your model number - 800-251-7558

Question:
What are the temperatures for the settings of low, medium, and highWas This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi, Lis. Due to several variables, like wind or ambient temperature, Meco does not list specific temperatures for these settings. They strongly recommend using a meat thermometer when smoking meats and poultry.

Question:
Can I use Wood Chunks instead of Chips? I used to use a Brinkman Gourmet Electric Smoker for 20 years and it's heating coil just disintegrated two days ago. It was the BEST vertical electric smoker I have ever used. However, the company went out of business 3 years ago and I can't find a replacement heating coil for it. This is why I'm turning to you. Your Smoker looks exactly like my broken smoker. I've seen in your photos that it uses wood chips. I personally would rather use wood chunks. Please tell me that this smoker can use wood chunk as well as wood chips, okay? I look forward to your answer.Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hello! Yes, you may use wood chunks instead of chips. I hope this helps!

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
