I just purchased this unit because I live at 9000 feet above sea level in Colorado and so smoking indoors in the winter obviously is very appealing. However, my first smoke was baby back ribs and my pellet hopper got wet and clogged so bad that I basically got zero smoke and a big clogged up mess! Not impressed!
My pellet hopper has never gotten wet,but sometimes I still get little to no smoke. You have to clean the inside pellet drop VERY thoroughly every time or you’ll get no smoke in my experience
I have a pellet smoker, a Weber Kettle, a small off set charcoal/wood smoker and a very large wood smoker capable of doing up to 16 Briskets at once that I use when we do a blow out in the Desert about twice a year. I'm sure your little smoker is great but it will be a very cold day in H*** before I would spend the amount of money they want for yours.
@@chadnoty5086 thanks for that but in my case this was the first and so far, only use of my unit. The pellets seemed to have gotten soggy for some unknown reason. I had the smoke level set at 5 but after they got soggy, the auger just turned them into mush and that was the end of that.
I live in Alaska, AND LOVE MY INDOOR SMOKER!!!!
My Arden has been great for the harsh Maine winters. Or when I’m too lazy to smoke on my WSM
Very nice Idea but a bit more expensive at 1K. Camerons indoor grill off Amazon can do almost all this for $45-60 .
Any plans to sell this with international voltage?

Any chance your pellets were older? Sometimes they can retain moisture.
@@laurabeans915 they’re the ones that were included with the unit so I can only assume they were okay.
@@ronmarti1I’d try a different set of pellets just to rule that out, then call service if you get the same result.

Just wish it was just a little bit bigger to fit a whole brisket all in one piece instead of having to split it
But if you split it you have two options for rubs.
I wish it could fit 3 whole briskets at once
