$499Approx. MSRP
Great forlow-and-slow smokingfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

A reasonable beginner charcoal smoker for someone who wants classic charcoal flavor without an offset's fire-management demands, but budget for a separate thermometer and expect some mid-cook fuss.

Pros

  • Effective smoke retention and flavorful results reported by most owners
  • Straightforward vertical-cabinet design is easier for beginners than an offset smoker
  • Solid build quality and easy assembly praised by most buyers
  • Loads of cooking room — 770 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Refueling charcoal mid-cook is more fiddly than on a pellet or gas smoker
  • Water tray leaking is an annoying, recurring design flaw
  • Thermometer accuracy issues mean a separate probe is recommended
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Burn box can be too small to hold the water tray, charcoal and wood chips together, making mid-cook refueling awkward
  • Water tray has been reported to leak during use
  • Rack support brackets can be loose, risking shelves slipping out
  • Built-in thermometer accuracy questioned by some owners
