Big Chief Electric Smokers come in two models, front loading and top loading. Both have the same MSRP of $159.95, but you can easily find substantial discounts. You load it by removing the front or top depending on the model. It is primarily used to make smoked fish, cheese nuts and meat jerky. But the 450 watt heating element will not generate much heat, particularly in cooler weather, so stay away from cooking large BBQ items like brisket and pork butts. This lightweight non-insulated aluminum box is 18″ wide x 12″ deep x 24.5″ high. Includes five removable chrome plated grates, recipe booklet, 1.75 pound bag of hickory chips. Small and lightweight, fishermen love their Big Chiefs. It’s perfect for fishing trips when you have access to electricity.
They also make a couple smaller models: Little Chief and Mini Chief.
