Disclosed is a smoker device which is effective in imparting a smoky flavor to food as it cooks and is also conveniently portable. The device includes two pairs of opposing vertical panels, each panel having substantially rectangular shape and having four substantially straight edges, and an attachment mechanism located on at least one straight edge of each vertical panel for attaching that side edge to a side edge of an adjacent vertical panel. The two pairs of vertical panels cooperate with hot coals or another heat source, when in operation to form a platform having four top edges and to smoke food. The first pair of vertical panels and the second pair of vertical panels are capable of being folded into a substantially planar shape. A lid covers the top edges of the platform. An adjustable vent is located on the surface of the cover, which in its open position permits maximum smoke to exit the smoker device and in its closed position substantially blocks smoke from exiting the smoker device. A structure for supporting food during the cooking operation, such as an array of spaced-apart bars, is secured the array to the inner sides of the first pair of opposing vertical panels and supports food to be cooked.
