There is no better way to cook meat.It is always tender and hs a great flavor. Thumbs up to the crock-pot BBQ pit When will they be back in stock. Barb

I just got this. It seems larger than it appeared on TV. Cooked chicken in it and it turned out awesome. I was hoping I could ""smoke"" a roast. Thought I saw that. Anybody know how? Great for big get togethers, etc. Storage is a problem.

This seemingly good idea is marred by its bulk. It requires a lot of space to store it but I overcame that. I didn't store it - I set it on top of a microwave cart I no longer use. The problem is that it's heavy and awkward. I've lost my grip of the crock twice and dropped it into the sink. It's very fragile and broke both times. Super Glue works but I'm tired of making repairs every time I use it. Now it's in the garage by the trash can. Bye, bye Crock-Pit.

I love the ribs cooked in this. They are juicy, but not soggy and have so much flavor. Pork butts come out perfect for pulled barbq, not like in a crock pot where they seem to have too much liquid even if you don't add any.

Oven cleaner does a great job of cleaning it. Trying a stuffed turkey for Christmas dinner.... I will post the results when it is done

I got mine about a year ago for Christmas and it cooks great. The biggest problem I have with it is the stoneware liner cracked and I can not get Rival to answer my e-mail about the problem. I would like to repair it or get a new liner. But as far as cooking goes it does a great job.
