Review on Nordic Ware Stovetop Kettle Smoker: A Red One-of-a-kind Cooking Essential by Rob Marsh

This kettle smoker does not work as well as the Presto electric smoker which was recalled due to some electrical issues. The Presto could be cold smoked and the smoke lasted longer, it was digitally heated and also tenderized the meat. A red kettle on the stovetop is fine, but you need to keep an eye on your stovetop temperature at all times. It doesn't smoke for long either and does smoke a lot from under the lid and bottom of the kettle, but I use strips of foil to seal it better. The problem is that wood chips are used up very quickly and end up burning quickly to charcoal and also imparting a bitter taste to the meat. The food is also poorly prepared. If Presto releases a new safe electric smoker I will definitely buy it.
