Smoke Containment
Customers have generally positive opinions about the smoke containment of the Nordic Ware Indoor/Outdoor Kettle Smoker.

Some customers also suggest that the size could be bigger to accommodate more brisket sizes and easier to add or replace wood chips during smoking. Overall, the smoker is praised for its ability to impart a true smoky flavor to food without disturbing neighbors or dealing
