Great smoker!
5 Stars
Great smoker!
This is not my first Little Chief. Orderedit because I know they are a good product, and with neat shortages because of people panicking over covid, I figured it may be a good idea to get one before there is a shortage on these smokers. Anyway, it appears that they have made some changes to the Little Chief. The things you put the racks on are different, and I think it's a little wider now than it used to be. The smoker worked right out of the box, no issues with the hesting element (beyond the fact that there is no temperature control, nor a thermometer (but as I said, I've already owned one of these in the past, so I knew that already) only setup involved was screwing the handles onto it, putting in the racks/drip tray, and, of course, plugging it in. I ordered it on the 22nd of May and it is now the 23rd and am already putting it to good use. This thing is great for beef jerky and smoked salmon. Can't wait to start making those again. Currently, to test it out, I have a giant chunk of pork and some really big boneless chicken breasts in it now. Will update this with pics of the food when it's done, if I remember.Anyway, you can't go wrong with a Little Chief.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feels flimsy; but if you are gentle it'll do the job for years
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2013
I rely heavily on customer reviews and compose mine with that in mind. I paid full price; no discounts. My father-in-law has the Big Chief version of this that's over 30 years old. His still works like a charm. Its made out of thicker guage material. His is a top loader, mine has the removal front door. The fact that the Little Chief is narrower than the Big Chief means there's less internal volume. Therefore the smoke is intensified in the Little Chief. Overall I have no complaints but I am very careful. It doesn't take much to create a dent in the thin gauge metal. In fact, it came dented on 4 edges. Surprised it didn't come boxed within a box. It just had the manufacturer's box. Fortunately, for those reasons Amazon cut 1/2 off the price, which made it a good deal with the refund.
***UPDATE***
After 3+ years it's still going strong. No issues. It gets used several times a year, and I clean it each time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sausage - pepperoni - jerky - turkey!! Smoker works!
Reviewed in Canada on October 20, 2020
This is my first time smoking so this smoker was perfect to get started with. I was a bit nervous smoking meats, having to use the Prague curing salt #1, plus I was reducing the sodium. For the jerky I simple avoided all the salt and used celery powder I dehydrated myself. The jerky was so good I did a few more batches for winter.
I was smoking as we came into the fall weather so it was a bit cooler out. I ended up ordering the insulation cover which helped. But in the meantime I used a heavy old bath towel and clipped it with a hair clip. It actually worked pretty good. No the towel did not burn. It never got hot enough for that to happen... but keep in mind it’s fall weather and I kept a close eye on it.
It took 4-6 hours to do the jerky. There is no temperature regulator, so you get whatever heat is there.
When I did the pepperoni it too took several hours.
The sausage took 2-4 hours... depending on the temperature. I used hard wood flat sticks I sanded down and hung my sausage on the wood and then on the brackets that hold the shelves.

I felt a bit frustrated with the cold weather and the limitation of the heat. I wanted to do a larger batch, but I need a larger smoke house to do it.

My sausages were taking way too long and went into the night/dark, so I had to finish them in the oven. They were smoked and it was still nice.
The only thing is I couldn’t see the temperature gage inside so I would have to take off the door and look, causing heat and smoke loss. Finally I stopped doing that.
The wood chips in the pan burn about an hour. So I would do about three pans of dry chips in the whole process with the sausages.
I made regular garlic kielbasa... Italian... chorizo... cheese... and just regular. I tried different smoke chips. They’re all good.

Next year I’ll smoke more in the summer so I can get good heat in there. But I may just buy a bigger smoker with more control on temperature.
I did manage to get enough smoked meats for the winter. In my freezer now!!
I vacuum sealed them all in bags.
I even smoked the thanksgiving turkey!! Crazy but I managed it!! I pierced it under the wings in the ribs and drove two sticks in it to hang upside down. I had a large tinfoil to catch any drippings. It was the length of the smoker and it was squeezed in there ... just enough for the smoke to circulate. Well it was in there for 5 hours, then I finished it In The oven. The gravy turned out to be smoky. It was different, but nice. Everyone was thrilled to have smoked turkey!! It took 4-5 pans of wood chips. I used hickory mostly, but mixed with some cherry.

I froze the left overs. Smoked turkey meat. Yum! And the stuffing I just did in another large pan to keep it separate.

Overall I would recommend this smoker. Especially for beginners. I didn’t find the book very helpful. I just found YouTube and googled recipes.

Be prepared for your house to smell like smoke after you bring in the sausage. It dissipates eventually... after a few days. It smells glorious!
