We had one of these infrared cookers, or at least something very
similar to it a few years ago. Food came out very unevenly cooked,
and cleanup was a pain in the ass. I would most definitely not try to
smoke anything in one. Heck, I can't even recommend warming up dog
food for a three legged stray in this thing.
