They work great! [Linked Image from northerntool.com]
I have used mine for 4 years. I can do up to an 18 pound turkey in a little over an hour. They work great on ham too. They require monitoring, but as long as you stay sober and follow the instructions, you won't burn down the house.

UL has a video here about what happens if you screw up. I would be willing to bet that in 90% of the report problems, alcohol is a factor.
