$300Approx. MSRP
Great fortight budgetsfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

Reasonable for a beginner who wants to try offset smoking without a big investment and is willing to babysit the fire and do a few DIY tweaks; skip it if you want set-and-forget low temperature control.

Pros

  • Large barrel body doubles as grill and offset smoker
  • Long-term owners (8 years+) report it still holding up structurally
  • Affordable way to try both direct grilling and offset smoking
  • Loads of cooking room — 1130 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Easy on the wallet ($300)

Watch-outs

  • Requires babysitting for long low-and-slow cooks, especially in cool weather
  • Ash buildup in the firebox needs the fire grate raised (a common DIY mod)
  • Inconsistent temperature holding compared to insulated smokers
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Thin firebox/body metal makes maintaining steady low temperatures during long smokes difficult, especially in cold weather
  • Factory fire grate in the side firebox sits too low and gets choked by ash buildup
  • Paint/rust concerns reported by some owners, though results vary widely (some report no rust after years uncovered)
