Highlights
Quality
So far, product quality and functions seem to be as described.
Best purchase i have made in a long time.
It is low maintenance while smoking simply following the instructions to keep on medium heat.
After then, the smoke dwindles down as the wood chips are entirely carbonized.
Price
I am sure a few passes on sander to knock down the edges would not effect the cost at all.
Shipping
At first i was sceptic about a stove top smoker but after reading the reviews i jump the shipped and bought it.
It's obvious that during shipment it was compressed.
Packaging/appearance
So, the manufacture should make the packing more robust so that rough handling during shipment doesn't warp the lid.
Competitiveness
On the balcony i used portable gas stove which you can find on amazon easily, as most of asia uses them for cooking.
We didn't know how this would compare to an outdoor smoker.
Anyway, fish tastes as good as what i make on the weber bbq with wood chips.

I don’t have an exhaust to the outside i have a recirculation stove hood which does not eliminate the smell itself just dissipates it

Now if you don’t open windows you will not end up with smoke in your house and your alarm will not go off but a strong smoke smell will float all over the house and despite it smells nice when cooking you don’t want it to stay long which smoke smell tends to do
