EAST OAK 30" Electric Smoker for Outdoors | Up to 6× Longer Smokes on a Single Load | Side Chip Loader for Uninterrupted Smoking | Bigger Batches with 725 sq in Cooking Area

I can't say enough about this brand and the customer service. I will try...I've had the smoker for over a year now and I've used it quite a bit. I've smoked all types of proteins. Such as the most common - chicken, beef, and fish. No issues with the temperature control (although I wish it got hotter than 275f). The heating element didn't take too long to bring temperature to the set point. But you mileage may vary due to various outdoor temps. The unit sealed to perfection. Funny thing is that the first time I used the smoker and when I opened the door, I was blasted with a cloud of smoke that was unreal. Now, it wasn't a safety issue in terms of heat, it was just the volume of smoke that released - which was impressive. There timer appeared, at least to me, functioned correctly. The smoker is easy to move because of the handle and the 2 wheels. I also wanted to not that the slick design make it look like a refrigerator. I was asked about that many times and I told them what it was, they couldn't believe how great it looked. Unfortunately, the unit would not hold temperatures unexpectedly . It reached temps well above 275F and would error out and shut down the heating. So, as a reader, your asking yourself "why was 5 stars given if the smoker failed on this person?!?!" . I'll tell you why. It was East Oak's customer service. I wrote them to find out where I can find the thermostat kit for the smoker. At that time I thought I was past the warranty period and decided that I could repair the smoker myself. Anyway, I was sadly informed by EO that they don't sell the kit. Instead of them leaving me in a lurch that wanted to know the issue I was having and they actually made things right after a few emails and a video. The person that I was dealing with, (yes it was only one person) was a blessing. They were very professional and were very concerned that I had an issue with one of their products. All I can say is that the customer service was one of the best experiences I've had with any manufacture - hence the 5 starts.

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.

Wow I have been impressed by this thing. I have a much more expensive smoker at my other house and this cabinet smoker puts out equally good flavor while taking up only half the space. Although this smoker uses water and wood chips whereas the more expensive smoker uses only wood pellets, I've found that they both put out a solid smoky flavor, and I think it's actually more cost effective per session using the chips. The only real downside is the startup time. For anybody new to smoking, you don't want to put your meat in the smoker until it's already at temp and producing smoke. The initial smoke from a newly lit wood source is acrid and will put a bad taste on your meat. You want that initial (really white) smoke to clear out first, and you'll get a deep and delicious smoke flavor from then on. Unfortunately this thing takes forever to start producing smoke, like 30 minutes to an hour. This is because the (recommended to be wet) wood chips sit in a stainless steel box and are essentially roasted with an electric induction coil from the underside. I don't think an actual fire ever occurs in this smoker which surprised me at first, the wood chips come out as black charcoal rather than ash. My pellet smoker is ready to go in 5 minutes or less, whereas this thing can take up to an hour. It's just something to consider. I love both smokers though, and for the price I can't complain at all about this one, it's just a different method of achieving smoke. Cleanup is so easy. Way easier than the pellet smoker. After the initial "burn-in" your first one or two cooks might taste weird. It will go away. Pros - Great Smoke Flavor - Easier cleanup than my pellet smoker - You can smoke A LOT of meat in this thing - Has wheels and a handle for easy moving - Cheapest electric smoker I could find at the time Cons - Takes a considerable amount of time for the smoking to start. Tips - BUY WOOD CHIPS. DON'T BUY WOOD CHUNKS. - Hickory and Mesquite give the strongest flavor. - I set the smoker to have an extra hour of cook time to account for how long it will take the smoker to start smoking. - If storing outdoors, buy legs for the smoker or put it up on cinderblocks to prevent water damage, also buy a cover. 2 cinderblocks and a cover was less than $25 for me. - A velcro strip for cable management is good for wrapping the power chord up and hanging it off of the handle when not in use. - I get more consistent and dependable results when I focus on the internal temperature of my meat rather than cook time. Monitor your temps with a good meat thermometer. - Prior to smoking, salt your meat on all sides and let it sit uncovered on a rack overnight if possible. You want airflow while it cures. The salt will cause your meat to sweat, the sweat will mix with the salt and act like a brine, the brine will be reabsorbed into the meat. Extra moisture will evaporate. The crust from this process is glorious. It will look dry on the outside, but it is still moist on the inside. At that point you could even hit it with a binder (mustard or Worcestershire) and put more seasoning on it if you wanted. - The majority of smoke flavor seems to set in within the first 3-4 hours. If I'm cooking brisket or chuck roast I'll smoke for 3-4 hours at 225, then wrap in butcher paper and place in a pyrex dish to finish it in the oven at the same temp. It seems a lot easier to break through "the wall" with the oven, probably because the heat is more consistent. - What is "the wall"? When smoking large slabs of meat you will often hit "the wall" where the meat's internal temp refuses to go past 155-165 degrees Fahrenheit for hours, but you need it to get to 180-210 degrees to soften up. Finishing it in the oven gets you there quicker, and also allows you to retain more of your smoked tallow (liquid gold) to cook with later. - Do not throw cuts of fat away, smoke them in a tray underneath your meat and collect the cooked fat (tallow). Some people use foil baking trays because you can throw it away afterwards. I use a pyrex dish and then pour into a Mason jar (filtering out particulates with a cheesecloth as a filter). You can use this tallow in place of any oil. It has a higher burning point than olive oil and imparts a delicious smoky flavor. It's called liquid gold for a reason. - I see no point to "spritzing". YouTubers will claim that you need a wet exterior for smoke absorption and constantly "spritzing" your meat with apple juice or other "spritzes" will enhance the smokiness. I don't believe it helps at all. If anything, it lets all the smoke out and causes unnecessary drops in temperature.

I have to give this four stars for one reason: poorly thought out internal sizing. The cooking industry uses full, half, and quarter-sized sheet pans as a standard for sizing. The internal racks of this unit are 15"x12". A half sheet pan is 18"x13" and a quarter-sheet pan is 13"x9". That means you can't fit one half sheet pan on a rack and you can't fit two quarter sheet pans on a rack, only one quarter sheet pan with leftover space. The same thing goes for almost all the disposable aluminum pans you buy as those are typically sized the same way. That means you have to cook directly on wire racks to optimized available space and that means a lot more mess and cleanup. I have a pretty ridiculous cooking setup at home and none of my dozens of pans fit optimally in this smoker. As far as functionality goes this product does a great job. It's simple to assemble, easy to use, and does a great job of smoking with minimal effort and great results. It does scratch easily on the outside though, so beware of that. It's light enough to pick up and carry inside and outside, which I have to do because I live in an isolated mountain area of WNC and can't leave it outside due to bears. Item arrived dented in one corner but still fully functional so it didn't bother me enough to go through the return process since you have to cut the shipping box apart to get it out. There's no taping that back together for return shipping! I did not take the star off for the damage, I took it off for the poor decision in internal sizing. If they want a five start product then it needs to be designed for industry-standard pan sizes internally just like every oven, in my opinion.

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.

I love my Electric smoker. I realize a lot of people think of the electric as a cheat, but I love to cook, and I want to do as much as possible while still being busy with other things. My old Materbuilt coal and gas one rusted out and I needed to upgrade. One of the nice features is the wheels so I can wheel this into the garage. That will help me keep it out of the weather and rusting out like the Masterbuilt. Also, this one is so far far easier to clean. The small wood tray helps not over smoke the meats, so you don't get that blackened look. Just tasty smoked to perfection. So now, the customer service. I did have one issue with the unit. The front panel had a plastic coating and for whatever reason, after a couple uses it pealed up a bit. Before it got to bad, I sent a picture to them. They immedialy sent me a new one which was easy to install. I was very happy about that and then had to admit to them that I lost the probe. I thought I could just buy any proble with a chord, but they didn't fit. They said they would send me a free one, no problem. Easy as can be. Very happy and smoking meats as often as possible.

This is my second smoker but first East Oak. I was impressed with the packaging being so secure. it took a little time to put together yet it wasn't hard to do. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. it's a pretty solid frame/stand with the wood chip box easy to access, the design is really nice to have minimal drippings going into the bottom, with the integrated temp probe it's easy to see what the internal temp is, the racks seem solid with adequate spacing between them for several spacing options, the dual adjustable smoke vent provides 2 ways for heavy or light smoke in conjunction with the chip box. The Led display looks good however it isn't that bright in the sun and a little difficult to read unless there's shade over it. It works much better than my old smoker and has better metal to keep consistent heat.

I chose an electric smoker because I live in a high-rise apartment tower. Fire code prohibits grills and smokers with a live flame on our balconies. The community shared gas grills do not get sufficiently hot for a good grilling and are ineffective at smoking. This East Oak 30" inch electric smoker unit comfortably fits on my balcony. I assembled it in 15 minutes with the help of easy instructions. Be sure to remove the Styrofoam packing hiding up in the top of the smoker before heating the smoker for the first time to season it! After seasoning I was ready for a trial run on my new smoker. If you strictly follow the simple instructions, this unit performs extremely well. The double insulated chamber holds temperature rock steady if you don’t open the door multiple times during the cook. I use Thermomaven brand wireless meat thermometers to track internal meat temp during the cook, so I don’t need to open the smoker door to check on the meat until the cook is finished. Setting smoker temp on the East Oak's digital panel for 210 degrees for 3 hours was as simple as pushing three buttons. While the smoker preheated, I seasoned my 1.5 lb 2 inch thick prime ribeye steaks with a rub of fresh cracked peppercorns, kosher salt, a touch of cumin, garlic powder, paprika, and brown turbinado sugar. I set these aside to check the temp on the smoker. When it hit 210, the smoker was emitting a savory plume of smoke. I put in the steaks and closed the smoker door, sealing it tight with the built in clamp. I did not open the door again until I hit my target internal meat temperature of 115 degrees in about an hour. This Infused my steaks with a rich smokey hickory flavor. After removing from the smoker, I finished the steaks with a deep sear in a pre heated cast iron skillet over medium heat, flipping the steaks every three minutes until internal temp hit 125 degrees. I took them out of the skillet and let them rest 10 minutes before slicing. Result? Perfectly juicy tender hickory smoked medium rare ribeyes! On my next cook, I smoked thick Duroc bone-in porkchops using applewood chips. After these simple cooks , I felt ready to smoke a brisket. I got outstanding results on my first attempt. Smoked it for 12 hours at 250. Again the smoker temp held steady. I added more wood chips after 6 hours. One of the best things about this smoker is you don’t have to open the door to add wood chips. Chips are loaded into a cartridge case that slips into a slot on the side of the unit. The East Oak produced a Flavorful, tender, juicy competition level brisket, almost as good as the ones I used to produce on my $1,000 Big Green Egg with expensive real wood charcoal. I highly recommend the East Oak smoker, and I'm pleased that I did not buy one of the more expensive fully featured electric wood chip smokers or pellet smokers that appear to be so so problematic according to the reviews on Amazon.

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.

Fast shipping and easy to set up and use

Fast delivery. Smoker is excellent quality, very easy to assemble and set up. Smoked ribs the first time and was great. Temperature held up and stayed consistent for the entire smoke. Word of advice be extremely careful when putting together. Mine fell off my uneven surface and damaged the door. Customer service is fast at responding to requests. I couldn’t be happier with East Oak and their product. Would recommend 100%

Funciona muy bien, es muy fácil de usar, tiene buen tamaño y excelentes acabados, algo que debes tener en cuenta es que todos los ahumadores eléctricos no solo este, ahúman más si la temperatura es mayor, si cocinas a temperatura baja no ahúma tanto, por que la resistencia que quema la madera es la que da calor, pero yo uso de manera adicional un cilindro de acero inoxidable que lleno de virutas de madera y ahúma mucho más y queda mejor la comida, es un buen tip si quieres que quede con un sabor más profundo a ahumado
