Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Camerons Products Stainless Steel Stovetop Smoker
Customer Review: Know what you want to do
Summary: 3 Stars
This smoker works as advertised. With appropriate care and attention, you can easily smoke a wide variety of foods and ingredients. At the right temperature, the small leakage of smoke from the unit is not a problem.However, recognize that this is a HOT smoker. If you are looking to smoke meats and other ingredients for long-term preservation, this is not the unit to use. Because of its small size, with the heat turned high enough to produce adequate smoke, you will easily reach temperatures of 250-300 degrees inside the pan, hot enough to roast many meats and birds. Fresh ham slices, for example, while infusing a wonderful flavor from the smoke, will cook to well done and beyond if you're not careful. Certainly far beyond where I would want to cook them for use in bean and soup dishes.

I very rarely review my purchases, but I just had to post a review on this stovetop smoker. It is fantastic!! I smoked a bone-in pork butt roast with the cherry woodchips and then used homemade bbq sauce. The meat was succulent with just the right amount of smoke. We had been purchasing pulled pork from a local bbq restaurant and while it was excellent, the ratio of fat to meat over the last few months had become intolerable. After reading some of the reviews, I was afraid my kitchen would be filled with smoke, but that is definitely not the case! Absolutely no smoke escaped, but the wonderful aroma of roasting pork with just a hint of woodsmoke filled the house with a delectable aroma. I highly recommend this product. I can't wait to try all our favorite meats with this smoker!!Customer Review: 41/2 stars.. Az smoker

I too bought for the hot summers of Arizona. Too hot to stand outside much.
We have smoked round steak and pork ribs in the smoker. Both have turned out really great tasting altho I tend to overcook the meat. The unit will put the smell of "smoke" inside your home for a few days. The inside drip pan has warped big time but still works. The unit is a bear to clean up, so the wife handles it after soaking for a day. The look of it is "dirty" but just can't get the burnt off the unit. The dry chips which came with it work fine. I would definitely consider buying this for a gift and when and if it ever breaks, I will buy another.
I am ready to cook a brisket next... My wife loves the smoker too. We use it on a flat top stove and have had no problems.

First off, I love what I can do w/ this smoker. Killer for fish, great ribs, can't wait to try many other things. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A BARBECUE GRILL. That being said, it has it's uses, and does a fine job.
My problem has been the "made in China" aspect. The first one I received, the handle bracket was attached crooked, and the handle would not stay snugged up against side of pan, flopped off at some angle. Returned that one and received a second, almost worse than the first. Called the company (Cameron Cookware) and advised them of the problem. THEY sent me another, but I must say even this one is not right. But I give up, I want the pan badly enough I'm going to keep it. I must commend Cameron for their effort to make things right tho.
Customer Review: First timer experience.

This was done on an outdoor BBQ. Bring your insulated gloves, one for each hand. 1pr channel lock pliers. 1/2"flat screw driver about 10" long, One pad 400 grit wet-dry sanding paper. you'll need a oven temp gauge to get a true idea how long to cook the product. Sand the rails and smooth all tool marks as smooth as you can. The first time you open the smoker you have to work at it! Use a full length body bib. When you finish cooking the product let the unit cool a bit and the lid will slide open with some tuging on the tab and prying with the screw driver. On the second use, it was a pleasure to use. The lid opened with a slight tug and the meat was fantastic! Use nonstick spray and a pan liner. This is a great way to cook. We love it.
