Portable pellet smoker

Any of you /bbq smokers out there have any remarks about portable pellet smokers? Expecially https://www.amazon.com/Country-Smokers-CSPEL015010497-Pellet-Smoker/dp/B07VNN775P/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=yo_ii_img?
My nephew recently got hooked on pellet smoking and also bought a new TT, so he had to get one of the portable smokers. Any one have any thoughts, pro or cons about this product as I am also toying with the idea of one.

    This thread gives new meaning to the phrase, "What have you people been smoking?" ;)

    Get a smoker box. Small light weight and can be used with current equipment. Also really inexpensive.

    I prefer having a pellet smoker with wheels and a huge food sized capacity. Grills Davy Crockett is portable but seems heavier.

    If it'll fit, Bradley is the best made, IMHO.

    The unit you supplied the link to looks awful small. Maybe a burger or fish smoker? On the plus side, the benefit of the small units is the temperature is more uniform and constant. As long as you don’t intend to do a brisket or few racks of ribs, it should work just fine. Does it list the weight anywhere? I love my Davey Crockett but it is a bit heavy.

    My buddy was saying hes not a fan of treager, except for the smaller unit he uses for his camping/portable uses. Sure if fun camping downwind from him.

    Howdy!

    We are fulltimers and have been using a Treager portable scout pellet smoker. I chose it over the Davey Crocket as it fit into our 5er better. It does a good job and we use it quite often.

    I have the GMG Davey Crocket potrable pellet smoker. Uses 12V or 120V, grill temp and meat probe, WiFi, legs fold up to use as handles, plus 4 spring legs. Larger than the one in the OP link.

    Mine is on drawer slides for use or it can be moved to another location.
