Char-Broil 04201100 Charcoal Smoker

Pros: Heavy steel fire box/smoker unit.
Cons: Undercarriage/wheels a bit flimsy

I'd been thinking about getting a smoker for a long time; almost five minutes. You know that warning about not shopping when you are hungry? Well, its true! Standing there in WalMart I had been thinking about how wonderful it would be to smoke some ...

Pros: Stylish before trying to use it as advised.

Pros: Perfect size and price for the back yard smoker. Lots of cooking area.
Cons: Low ceiling, no covers avail.

Pros: size of the cooking area and wood smoke area
Cons: Didnt come with a temp Gauge and cannot find a cover for it.

I bought this product to both Smoke goodies and do regular Charcoal grilling. It works fairly well for both. The charcoal grilling is a bit touchy as there is no height adjustment for the cooking grates over that part of the grill. Smoking however went very well. I have done sausage bacon and even did a 18 lb turkey over thanksgiving which came out excellent. It is a bit touchy to control your smoke temp but I am also new to smoking so it could very well be my lack of experience for sure. All in all I'd buy it again if I had it to do over.
