| Review | Rating | Last Updated | A couple of drawbacks
I recieved my BBQ pit right before Christmas, and overall I love it. I can put chicken, ribs, pork loin.whatever in around lunch time, and it's delicious by supper. But it is LARGE so it takes up quite a bit of room,that also makes it harder to clean. The thing I really don't like is the lid. It just slides into grooves, so it frequently moves when I am opening the lid. (when it's hot and heavy it's a pain) But it is convenient and my food tastes great. | 4 | 768 days ago | Indoor BBQ pit makes succulent BBQ a year-round reality!
I got the Rival CrockPot BBQ Pit for my birthday in mid-December and I've used it several times since then, for chicken, ribs, and a decent-sized brisket.

<br />First things first - read the instructions, which are brief and easy to understand, before using the BBQ Pit. One drawback to the instructions is that they just say the stoneware insert's easy to clean. Baked-on meat drippings, however, require significant effort to remove, and I advise you to spray the insert with a Pam-like product before each time you cook.

<br />The BBQ Pit comes with a convenient reversable rack that can accomodate either ribs or a roast or chicken. I had a large brisket that I sort of had to shoehorn in, but after a few hours it had shrunk so that I could move it around easily. It's important to avoid letting the meat come in contact with the inside of the stoneware insert, because it might burn.

<br />The BBQ Pit cooks meat at a low temperature, perfect for ribs or brisket which tend to be tough if cooked over 250 degrees. There's no substitute for time when slow-cooking, though - if you haven't got the time - several hours at least - this isn't the product for you. I was very pleased with everything I cooked in it over the past two weeks, but there are some drawbacks:
<br />
<br />The electric cord, like that on most appliances, is pretty short - I measured mine at 32". If you can't locate the BBQ Pit near a wall outlet, you'll have to use an extension cord, which is someting I like to avoid in a kitchen.
<br />
<br />The BBQ Pit has no external handles, so you need to place it carefully before cooking, because it gets too hot to move easily. In addition, the handles of the stoneware insert extend beyond the rim of the crockpot itself, making it easy to mistake them for handles with which you can lift the BBQ Pit - potentially a dangerous assumption.
