Lil Chief Smoker- Worth messing with?

Post by **srellim234** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 7:51 pm

My dad just dropped a 25 year old Lil Chief smoker my way that's been sitting in his garage. The unit is complete and the heating elements work, but the grills are pretty rusty. It's the smallest one that is a top-loading model.

Anyone have any experience with one of these? Is it worth cleaning up or should I just start saving my money to get something better? Mainly I'm looking at doing jerky and whole chickens.

My grandpa always used one of those. Beef jerky and bear jerky, both were always very tasty. I would say keep it!

i have a lil chief, it works great. i do a lot of jerky, smoked fish, and am about to try some beef brisket. i would clean it up, i think you can get the replacement grilles for cheap.

Thanks, guys. I'll go ahead and clean it up, then give it a try. I've always made my beef jerky in the convection toaster oven but it's very limited on size and I have to fight the kids for the toaster.
