I love my charbroil propane smoker. It's pretty big and holds Temps wonderfully.  As a matter of fact, I just smoked a whole turkey today. 10 hrs. Couldn't be happier.
I had the little chief.  It was terrible. I threw it away.  It would never hold temperature. I even used the box and addition blankets.

I would never try smoking anything bigger than salmon or jerky in my Little Chief, but for that they have been great.

One time a bunch of Seattle Fire Fighters were at a lake in Eastern Washington for several days. One fellow wanted to smoke his trout right there, to save the problem of refrigerating several limits on the way home. There was too many trout to lay out on the shelves of his Little Chief, so he stuck the tails up between the crosspieces of the shelves and poked toothpicks through the tails to hold them up. He must have had a hundred trout in the smoker, seems like.

When they were almost done, the tails pulled off and all the trout fell down to the bottom of the smoker. He had a mushy pile of warm trout. Gross!

Reminds me of trying to smoke some chum once... it seemed to brine OK but when I checked on it, it had melted through the grills.   :puke:  Not the fault of the smoker though.   :chuckle:

I have the big chief and have used it a lot for coho, pinks, etc.  Also done turkey, pheasant, and other stuff.  It is great.
