Char-Broil

Vertical Gas Smoker

Propane-fired vertical smoker with 595 sq in of space across three adjustable chrome-plated grates; Char-Broil's only current smoker.

$350Approx. MSRP

Reasonable entry point for someone new to smoking who wants gas convenience over charcoal, but budget for a separate digital thermometer from day one.

Pros

  • Some owners report solid build and material quality with good fit and finish
  • Once you learn its quirks, several owners report no ongoing issues with temperature control
  • Simpler to operate than a charcoal offset smoker for a beginner
  • Easy on the wallet ($350)

Watch-outs

  • Narrow gap between "low" and "high" flame makes fine temperature control tricky at first
  • Door seals may need aftermarket sealant to stop heat/smoke loss
  • Don't trust the built-in gauge for accurate readings
  • No side burner for sauces/sides

Known niggles

  • Low burner setting isn't much lower than high, so dialing in true low-and-slow temperatures takes practice near the shutoff point
  • Door gaps on some units leak heat and smoke, though owners have fixed this with high-temp sealant
  • Stock temperature gauge is unreliable enough that many owners buy a separate digital thermometer
