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

Not a bad smoker. You won't get browned, fried, or smoked results. The food is more like stewed meat etc with a slight smoky flavor. Tried Salmon - Results were better after fish was cold rather than hot. The brisket wasn't very tasty - gives a smoky flavor but you need to additionally cook it brown and tender - maybe smoke it, then roll in the oven for a few more hours, then brown at a higher temperature. Spent $80 on a smoker and another $30 on an extension. Probably not worth that amount - if I wasn't around the apartment a $30 Weber table grate with indirect heat would give much better smoking results. It's a grate, not a pan, that you'll clean until spotless. You can clean the grates fairly well, but the bottom and tray look like a grate where you've burned wood. I agree and expected this. The smoke from the device isn't bad - dry smoking seems to leave less residual odor in your home than wet smoking.
