Source: smokehouseproducts.com (verified 2026-07-07) · corroborated by amazon.com. smokehouseproducts.com confirmed the $179.99 price and stated the unit uses "a 120V, 250W heating element for approximately 165 F", includes "4 Easy-slide Chrome plated grills," and has no digital controls, WiFi/Bluetooth, or viewing window (a solid front-load door). The Amazon retailer listing (B000ZKZJMY, Model Name "Little Chief Front Load") corroborated identical specs: "250 watt element" / "120-volt, 250-watt heating element," "4 grills" / "4 Easy-Slide Chrome Plated Grills," a steady "165 degrees Fahrenheit" setting with "Non-adjustable heat operates at 165 degrees Fahrenheit," "No complicated Bluetooth or Wi-Fi controls," and "Manufacture Year 1968." Both pages state the Little Chief has been made since 1968 (the "original model"), supporting releaseDate 1968. Specs were taken from the Little Chief (250W, 4 grills), not the Big Chief sibling (450W, 5 grills, 50 lb) shown in the comparison table. Rack cooking area in square inches is not published by either source, so cooking_space_sqin is null.
