Hi yall, I borrowed that from Paula Dean, I don't think she'll mind. My name is John. I live in Las Vegas, NV. Well after ours of research I decided to invest in a Master Forge Electric Dome Smoker. I've been a charcoal griller all my life kingsford thats it period. Maybe some hickory, and,or mesquite. Mostly meat, and fish, vegies every now and again, but you can see where I'm going here I'm a meat and potatoes guy. So back to this electric smoker. I'm currently living in an apartment so the only grill/smoker I can use on my patio has to be electric. I'm lazy I want to grill from the comfort of my sofa, not outside in the 100 degree temps. I read reviews for most of the electric smokers and decided to get the MF because I did'nt want to spend a lot of money at this first venture in smoking. A lot of the charcoal smokers, in my price range, seemed to need modifications with the exception of the Master Forge Domes. Most MF reviews said the units smoked good without having to work on them. I figured the design allowed good circulation. I like that I can take the smoker off the electric heating element if need be and replace it without disturbing the food. The 1600 watt heating element should assure that it gets hot enough for what ever. I noticed there wasn't any reviews for the Master Forge Electric Dome anywhere on the forum so hopefully I can give one. I was talking to my next door neighbor and happened to mention to her I was thinking about getting a smoker and why. She purchased one also at the same time. We've had them for about three weeks now. The smell of smoke had me knocking on her door today just to see if she was happy with the smoker. She let me in and gave me a peice of steak in a napkin. It was gooood. I ate as we talked. She said" She loves the smoker, and that she had not cooked anything on the stove since we put the smoker together". Well except rice, or mac and cheese like that. She had zuchinni, chicken, and red peppers on the smoker then. About a hour later back in my apartment I can still smell the smoke on my hands from the sample she gave me. I should mention the MF is a good solid built smoker. The quality is as good if not better than any grill I've had. I can go on and on but I think I'll stop here for now, save some for next time. Let some body else chime in. I'll be in touch John
