Great fortight budgetsfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

A budget-friendly way to start real charcoal smoking if you're willing to add gasket tape and use a separate probe thermometer; skip if you want accuracy out of the box.

Pros

  • Large capacity that multiple owners report using for years on ribs, brisket, turkey and more
  • Holds heat well once properly sealed and dialed in
  • Good value for a beginner wanting real charcoal smoking
  • Loads of cooking room — 1890 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Easy on the wallet ($349)

Watch-outs

  • Thin metal firebox often needs extra gasket sealing to perform well
  • Stock temperature gauge isn't reliable
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Temperature gauge reported off by up to 100 degrees on some units
  • Difficulty getting above roughly 200F on some units
  • Firebox described as too small with insufficient airflow
  • Smoke leaking around the door, especially before adding extra gasket sealing
