Product Description
In 1990, founder Ty Measom found himself both frustrated and inspired with the size and quality of the outdoor cooking equipment available. He set out to create a product that was both portable and powerful. After countless hours of brainstorming, engineering, and tinkering, the Pro60 was born—and along with it—a company to pioneer the camp-cooking industry. The simple, yet durable design was applauded by outdoorsmen everywhere. Since then we’ve added griddles and grill box attachments, a variety of cast iron pieces, and more recently—pellet grills. Over the past 30 years, our product line has expanded, but our objective remains the same—provide a better way to cook outdoors.
We’ve raised the steaks in the outdoor cooking industry. So, we challenge you to ask yourself if your cooking equipment is tough enough for the task. Whether you’re barbecuing on the back patio or backpacking in Bolivia—delicious food is attainable despite your coordinates. So, get out there. Make memories with the people you love. Experience the beauty of nature. Feed your outside however you want with the durability, versatility, portability, and power of Camp Chef.

This smoker also comes in a larger size, and you might want to consider it if you are smoking large items. I've managed to cram a turkey in my 18" model, but it was a tight fit. Same goes for a particularly large brisket. 18" is not wide enough for an entire side of salmon, though it's no big deal to break off the last few inches of fish.
As with any propane smoker, it's important to monitor temperature from multiple angles and to rotate your food. I've noticed my smoker is somewhat hotter in the back than in the front. This is not a big deal for heavy meats, but will affect more delicate food such as nuts.
An optional cold smoking attachment would be nice, along with attachable clips to hold thermometer wires.
First the burn in and then jerky. As I have been told, everyone burns their first jerky. I was impressed with how constant the temperature remained and how easy it was to adjust via the dampers and the flame. Next up was smoked pork chops. Now we only eat 4 oz chops cut from a center loin so these puppies were fairly thin. I thought they may end up dry even though I marinated. Water in the pan, wood in the wood thing and 45 minutes later at low heat I took them out. Holy smokes, these were awesome. Tender, smoky, and moist. Then came a beef brisket. Something I have never even tried grilling. And a small brisket at that. The smoke flavor (mesquite) was excellent, but I learned that you have to keep checking the water pan and keep it full. The brisket was a little dry due to not checking the water, but the flavor was amazing.
This thing feels solid, well built, and at this point a bargain for the money. Ribs, chicken and turkey are on the list next. Still looking for a good wireless thermometer.
A couple of notes. The thermometer in the door is worthless, but I expected that - pretty much every smoker review says that about every smoker's built-in thermometer. Kind of makes you wonder why they even bother. I got the Maverick Grill Grate ET732 thermometer system that works beautifully with this - remotely track both the temperature inside the smoker and inside the food at the same time.
Assembly was not difficult, but instructions were, as usual, less than helpful. The one really annoying thing was that the glue on the back of the advertising label on the front door wouldn't come off completely - there are still faint lines on my door from that bad gluing job.
Note: first time I used the smoker, it was extremely windy, and I had a hard time keeping a steady temperature until I created a bit of a windbreak near the smoker. That did the trick.
