Actually mine does. It just needs to be a warm day and it took me some fiddling to get it just right. Oh and def use wood chunks not chips.

I call mine Smokenstinen. I've even had ppl over for dinner and smoked pork loin in it with rootbeer BBQ sauce and a baked potato bar. They absolutely LOVED it!
