King-Griller Smokin' Ace Charcoal Grill and Offset Smoker

King-Griller sub-brand offset smoker with a side fire box and 655 sq in of total cooking area.

$300Approx. MSRP

Decent value if you want an offset smoker with a firebox included and don't mind inspecting/fixing minor shipping issues, but skip it if you want dependable factory fit and finish out of the box.

Pros

  • Large grilling area with cast iron grates plus a warming rack
  • Built-in temperature gauge and adjustable fire grate for more heat control than basic models
  • Side fire box included for offset smoking out of the box
  • Easy on the wallet ($300)

Watch-outs

  • Quality control issues on arrival (bent parts, scratches) reported by some buyers
  • Poor firebox paint durability
  • Lid seal problems undermine the temperature control the gauge is meant to help with
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Shipping damage reported — bent leg flanges and scuffed paint out of the box on some units
  • Lid doesn't always seal correctly, making heat control harder
  • Paint on the firebox/smoke box has been reported deteriorating after just a couple of uses
