The Cuisinart 36-inch Vertical Propane Smoker is a spacious outdoor smoker designed for everything from backyard brisket to weekend jerky. With 785 square inches of cooking space across four removable chrome-steel racks, a powerful 15,000 BTU propane burner, and an adjustable rear vent, it gives you the control needed to smoke low and slow.
Simple assembly: attach the legs, side handles, and water/wood chip tray with the included hardware—no special tools required. Always read the manual and do a 30-minute burn-off (empty) before the first cook to season the smoker and clear any manufacturing residue.
Use the burner dial to set the heat and the rear vent to fine-tune airflow. The integrated temperature gauge in the door gives you a quick read of the cooking chamber. For consistent results, keep the wood tray filled and water pan partially filled—steam helps maintain heat and keeps meat moist. If the smoker runs too hot, close the vent slightly; if it’s too cold, open it further. Avoid lifting the door too often.
Because the vertical design holds four racks, you can smoke multiple foods at once. Chicken breasts and whole birds on upper racks, brisket or pork shoulder below; jerky and fish benefit from drier heat, so place them higher. Use wood chips that match your protein—hickory for ribs, apple for poultry, mesquite for bold flavor.
The porcelain-enamel wood chip and water tray is easy to clean after each cook, and the chrome-steel racks are dishwasher safe. This smoker is perfect for tailgates, backyard gatherings, and camping trips where you want real smoked flavor without babysitting a charcoal fire.

Propane gives you steady, adjustable heat without the constant attention of charcoal. The Cuisinart 36-inch smoker is a set-it-and-monitor-it tool, so you can spend more time with family and less time babysitting a fire.
Add a handful of wood chips to the tray every 45 minutes for consistent smoke. Hardwood chips: hickory for pork, oak for beef, apple for poultry, cherry for fish. Keep the water tray full to steady temperature and keep meat juicy.
Season your smoker before the first cook, line the water pan with foil, and clean the racks after each session. Regular care prevents rust and makes each smoke easier.

Follow the included manual to attach the legs, handles, side shelves, and trays. Basic hand tools are all you need; the assembly usually takes 20–30 minutes.
Set the burner dial to the desired heat level, then use the rear vent to adjust airflow. The built-in temperature gauge shows the internal temp, and a partially filled water pan helps steady the cooking chamber.
It runs on a standard 20 lb propane tank with the included regulator and hose. The tank is not included.
Yes, 785 square inches and four racks give you room for a large brisket plus sides. You can add more smoke flavor with wood chips in the tray.
Before your first cook, run the smoker empty at a medium-high setting for 30–45 minutes. This burns off any oils from manufacturing and conditions the interior.
Great smoker, solid temp control.
This smoker has been a workhorse for our family cookouts. The four racks let me do ribs and chicken at the same time, and the temperature gauge is pretty accurate.
I've been smoking meat since the seventies, and this Cuisinart is the first vertical propane unit that I've truly liked. It holds a steady 225 to 250 without much fiddling. The chrome racks clean up easily. My only complaint is the grease tray could be deeper, but for the price I can't complain. I'd recommend it to anyone starting out.
Got this for my hubby and he loves it. The build is a little thin in places but it works. We've done pork butts and fish. Great flavor.
I've had this for two months now. Took a little while to learn the vent settings, but once I did, it's been holding 225 like a champ. Did a 14 lb brisket and it was perfect. Cleanup is not bad. The wheels make it easy to move. Definitely recommend.
I never thought I'd be smoking meat at my age, but my grandson got me this for my birthday. The instructions are clear, and I've made the best salmon of my life. It's not too big and fits on my patio. I like that I can see the temperature without opening the door.
It smokes well once you get the hang of it. I wish the door sealed tighter. Lost some smoke at first.
Solid construction. Temperature swings a bit in wind. Learned to use a water pan. Overall happy.
We take this on our RV trips and it's been fantastic. It lights easy and the temp gauge is easy to read. We've smoked chicken and some veggies. The racks are sturdy. Love it!
Does the job.
Bought for my husband and he's thrilled. He's used it three times already. The size is great and it's easy to assemble. The price was right. I might get one for my dad.
