The Little Chief was quickly recognized by serious fishermen as the the product of choice for smoking their catch of salmon, trout and steelhead. In the early 1980's the larger Big Chief Smoker was introduced, making them the most popular line of fish smokers sold in North America.

The smoker itself does a great job keeping the heat at a consistent temperature, and while it seemed somewhat flimsy at first, it's well made and does exactly what it's supposed to do! The front door panel lifts off easily, but also holds in all the smoke during operation. Adding wood chips in the pan is simple with the small door panel so you don't lose all the heat and smoke. You can use this to complete dry meats out to make jerky, or adding some apple cider or water to a tray on the bottom allows food to absorb tons of flavor, but not dry out so you can transfer it to a hot grill for quick searing. I put lean ground beef patties in for about 2 hours, then flash grill for a minute or two and serve. Easily the most flavorful, juicy burgers I've ever had! Finally was able to successfully make incredible baby back ribs myself! And chicken legs turn into a whole new food group after several hours in the smoker, then baked the rest of the way!
***UPDATE***
After 3+ years it's still going strong. No issues. It gets used several times a year, and I clean it each time.

Again don’t buy. I will figure out something for the fish I have on hand.
OK - So...Lets clear the air right now on what this smoker is NOT. It is NOT a "cooker" that will handle a pork butt, a brisket flat or even a rack of ribs (for THOSE products I highly recommend the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker). The Little Chief does NOT have a rheostat - so adjusting the temp is out of the question. While it will be affected to some degree by ambient air temp, It is designed to run at 160-165 degrees and slowly -smoke- products like fish (salmon, trout, etc) sausage, jerky, etc. The smoker itself is -very- lightweight aluminum and is so simple to put together and operate a child could do it. It comes with a nice 50+ page booklet of recipes, cooking instructions and spare parts info - that again, even a child could decipher. The food product produced by the Little Chief (I've used it primarily for Smoked Salmon, Beef Jerky, Cheese and Nuts and Smoked Sausage) is in my opinion of a higher quality than the same products when purchased at retail. I highly recommend the Little Chief Smoker for smoking these types of products. Five stars - Getcha one.

Reviewed in Mexico on April 28, 2018
I was smoking as we came into the fall weather so it was a bit cooler out. I ended up ordering the insulation cover which helped. But in the meantime I used a heavy old bath towel and clipped it with a hair clip. It actually worked pretty good. No the towel did not burn. It never got hot enough for that to happen... but keep in mind it’s fall weather and I kept a close eye on it.
It took 4-6 hours to do the jerky. There is no temperature regulator, so you get whatever heat is there.
When I did the pepperoni it too took several hours.
The sausage took 2-4 hours... depending on the temperature. I used hard wood flat sticks I sanded down and hung my sausage on the wood and then on the brackets that hold the shelves.
I felt a bit frustrated with the cold weather and the limitation of the heat. I wanted to do a larger batch, but I need a larger smoke house to do it.
My sausages were taking way too long and went into the night/dark, so I had to finish them in the oven. They were smoked and it was still nice.
The only thing is I couldn’t see the temperature gage inside so I would have to take off the door and look, causing heat and smoke loss. Finally I stopped doing that.
The wood chips in the pan burn about an hour. So I would do about three pans of dry chips in the whole process with the sausages.
I made regular garlic kielbasa... Italian... chorizo... cheese... and just regular. I tried different smoke chips. They’re all good.
Next year I’ll smoke more in the summer so I can get good heat in there. But I may just buy a bigger smoker with more control on temperature.
I did manage to get enough smoked meats for the winter. In my freezer now!!
I vacuum sealed them all in bags.
I even smoked the thanksgiving turkey!! Crazy but I managed it!! I pierced it under the wings in the ribs and drove two sticks in it to hang upside down. I had a large tinfoil to catch any drippings. It was the length of the smoker and it was squeezed in there ... just enough for the smoke to circulate. Well it was in there for 5 hours, then I finished it In The oven. The gravy turned out to be smoky. It was different, but nice. Everyone was thrilled to have smoked turkey!! It took 4-5 pans of wood chips. I used hickory mostly, but mixed with some cherry.
I froze the left overs. Smoked turkey meat. Yum! And the stuffing I just did in another large pan to keep it separate.
Overall I would recommend this smoker. Especially for beginners. I didn’t find the book very helpful. I just found YouTube and googled recipes.
Be prepared for your house to smell like smoke after you bring in the sausage. It dissipates eventually... after a few days. It smells glorious!
