I had been searching for a smoker for months. Orion only popped up within the last few days of my search and I found the concept intriguing. I have only had it for two weeks and smoked a chicken and ribs. Both were delicious. I stuck to the cooking times in the manual that comes with the cooker, and found both on the verge of being overcooked. Nonetheless, moist, juicy, just enough Smokey, and the entire process is a breeze. I’ll experiment more but after even only two dishes I am confident this smoker will become a regular in my rotation. A solid 5 stars for how sturdy and beautiful the device is, and for how well it cooks/smokes the meats.

Great Product, Takes Some Learning
Easy to assemble and easy to use following the timing directions. My suggestion for anyone new is to start with very little wood chips to start as I messed up and used too much on my first cook.

Still the best
12.5 pounds of match light charcoal. Your favorite rub. This convection smoker delivers tasty moist, and tender smoked meat.
I am on my second Orion. The first one lasted twenty or so years. Years of fat drippings caused the base to separate. The addition of the o greasy catcher will make this one last longer.
