Top Criticism

I think it's fine as long as you can keep an eye on it. If you do overnight cooks then I would move it outside of the lanai. I had bought a MembersMark smoker from Sam's and only used it a few times. It malfunctioned and started a fire, luckily I was watching it otherwise my lanai and house could have been damaged. Needless to say I returned the smoker. If it malfunctioned once I didn't think I could trust it again. If that had happened overnight inside my covered lanai it could have been really bad.
