Love my Smoke Vault 24

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received a Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24 as a gift on fathers day a few years ago. I truly love this smoker. I've done a few things to my smoker to tighten up the Smoke leaking from the smoke,like I added a food grade,non-flammable felt seal tape to around the door and sealed up areas around the Smoke with a food safe liquid gasket sealer. My next thing is to come up with a way to get the vents(3) to close more or shut off completely to be able to refine the heat temperature better. Any ideas from Camp Chef on the vents would be greatly appreciated.

Needs a better burner and/or control

I had this for a number of years now. Maybe smoke a couple times a year. I have other Camp Chef products that I like, so I went with this because I thought being propane it would be set and forget. However, like my other Camp Chef products none of them have precise burner controls. It's not so bad when cooking a meal, but trying to smoke something low and slow over hours in this smoker requires constant attention to keep it at the correct temp. I even added a second valve in the line to try to control the heat. as the built-in one doesn't go low enough. Personally I think the burner is too big for the smoker. Try to keep the flame low enough to keep the temp low and it goes out.

Amazing

I highly recommend this smoker. We are going on our 6th year with the 18”. Salmon to Boston butt, beer can chicken to mac & cheese there hasn’t been anything bad come out of this smoker (except when I fell asleep on a late night cook which was operator error). Extremely fuel efficient I have done 3 separate cooks at 6-10 hours each on one tank. The first 3 years of this smoker lived outside only covered by the Camp Chef cover. There is zero rust. I live in NC which had high humidity and It has seen a lot of rain and some snow. The cover is still holding up but is on its last leg as it’s sun bleached and starting to get rips in it. Well worth the money for the cover. One recommendation I have is don’t smoke Thanksgiving turkeys, hams, or bbq unless you plan on doing it at every family function from now on because it produces amazing food which I don’t mind one bit. It is also pretty portable to load in the truck and take on vacations or to a friends house for a cookout.

Worked only twice

When we tried to set it up the first time, the regulator wouldn't line up correctly and we went back and forth with customer service for 3 weeks before they agreed to send a new one. Worked great twice after that then wouldn't go above 150 degrees the third time even after resetting the regulator 5 times and checking everything else (water, gas, etc.). Waste of money.

Longevity? Check!

This is my TENTH year cooking on the same unit (18"). I want to upgrade to the 24", but I still feel I have many miles on this smoker. How many grills, smokers, etc. are still going after 10 years? And the ignition switch still works, which is just incredible! I live in Northern MN and have smoked from 90 above to 20 below--this thing just gets the job done, period. A+ product.

Smoke vault

Great smoker, used it for 2 years until temp adjustment stud broke Christmas morning. Hopefully they have parts to replace. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for that.

Great smoker/great value

I received this smoker as a Christmas gift probably 4-5 years ago and use it often. This smoker has been through a lot! Getting blown over several times in our back yard wind tunnel, left uncovered several times and rained on, cover blew off during a wicked winter storm and left for days buried half way up with snow and it still keeps on producing delicious meat! The only thing we've replaced was the cover in all these years. It still fires right up and seems to just sip on propane, a 20lb bottle seems to last us well over a year and we use it probably 5-10 times a season. Cant say any bad about this smoker.
