Char-Broil Electric Water Smoker Review
The problems most people are having with this smoker are due to connecting an extension cord. I tried using a 25' 12 gage cord and the burner barely warmed up. Plugged in directly, it burned my finger. So if you don't have a good location close to an outlet, this one may not work well for you. Yes, drill a hole at the bottom of the unit for drainage and add a thermometer indicating degrees and smoke at 225 F or so. Another must is adding some kind of vent to the top of the lid. I pulled a baffle from a discarded BBQ unit, drilled some holes for ventilation and made myself an adjustable smoke ejector. If you do not do this, the food in my opinion gets way too smokey. If you get a sick feeling after eating over-smoked food, then this will solve your problem. Another thing others have done is drilled holes (I put in four) around the burner casing to allow air to be drawn up. This sets up a draft from bottom to top and out the holes you drilled for the vent and works quite well. If you use a 7/8" hole saw for these holes, you can always plug them with the electrical plugs used to seal junction boxes. The construction of the unit is quite heavy and has a quality feel to it. I also use a Brinkman charcoal smoker, but I like the idea of having tight temperature control and two cooking platforms.

Char-Broil Electric Water Smoker Overview
The Char-Broil Electric Water Smoker takes the standard vertical barrel chamber and utilizes a 1650 watt heating element to smoke or barbecue food. The heating element is controlled by a 5-foot electric cord and a temperature dial. The grill comes with both a charcoal pan and a water pan to help provide great smoke flavor that also absorbs the moisture from whatever liquid is used. A large door provides easy access to both pans. The grill includes two chrome cooking grids that provide a total of 380 square inches of total cooking space.
Char-Broil Electric Water Smoker Specifications
Grills may get a lot of outdoor cooking attention, but nothing delivers a moist, flavorful meat like a smoker. The Char-Broil 4754512 electric water smoker can smoke up to 50 pounds of meat or fish at a time, and since you use it outside, you can smoke year round. With a 6-quart water pan in the belly and an electric heating coil in the power base, this smoker heats up quickly but doesn't dry foods out. The steam it generates penetrates meats while they're cooking, for big flavors and tender textures. Fixed rack settings in the smoker's main chamber support two 15-inch chrome grates with ample room for a turkey or multiple roasts. The smoker stands on three stout legs canted outward for extra stability. In addition, Char-Broil designed this unit to convert to a tabletop grill. Convertability isn't just gadgetry in this smoker, either. In its grill configuration, the components fit snugly and securely for efficient cooking and power use. The smoker takes under a half an hour to assemble. --Emily Bedard
