Any chance this thing works?

Williams-Sonoma smoker

I think this thing is probably a piece of crap. Electric smoker seems like a good waste of $500.

A controlled low temperature and a heat source to make the wood smoke - what's not to work?

Probably made by the same people who get their salsa from New York City...

As we all know, part of the joy of smoking is the time spent, the attentiveness, the dedication to the fire.

Why not skip the freakin' machine & simply go to a Q restaurant?

There are a lot of those out there, from what people who own thme tell me - they work as far as "cooking" but they can never really get enuff smoke to comapre to meat cooked on a real smoker.

Last guy I talke to was selling his and getting a pellet smoker.

That's actually a commercial smoker, used in professional kitchens. I've used one many times, and they do a fairly good job. I used everything from mesquite to pecan shells in them with more than acceptable results.

It's the equivalent of a blow up doll.

Voice of experience?

When you've done the real thing, facsimiles just won't do.
