Customers are mixed about the heat of the food smoker. Some mention that it reaches high temperature quickly, holds the temperature well, and allows for any possible temp/time variations. However, others say that it will not hold temperature, it will no regulate temperatures, and the temps are extremely inconsistent. The fan won't blow and the rod doesn't heat up. The heat needs to be diffused better and it just wouldn't maintain over 300 degrees for any length of time.
