Highland Classic Offset Smoker & Grill

879-sq-in classic offset charcoal smoker sized for up to 3 briskets or 4 pork shoulders per cook.

$430Approx. MSRP

The classic 'starter stick-burner' — great for learning offset smoking cheaply, but budget for a first-burn touch-up coat of high-heat paint and plan to add gaskets.

Pros

  • 900 sq in of cooking space at an accessible price — the most talked-about beginner offset in the lineup
  • Holds heat well, staying hot enough to cook on for 1-1.5 hours after the fire's out per owners
  • Massive amount of third-party mod and gasket support exists because it's so widely owned
  • Loads of cooking room — 879 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Paint quality control is a well-documented weak point right out of the box
  • Firebox hardware (bolts) can rust and fail over time
  • Stock door/lid seals leak smoke and often need aftermarket gaskets
  • Heavy (156 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Paint on the firebox and main chamber is widely reported to bubble and peel during the very first seasoning burn
  • Some owners report rust appearing on the smoker box interior/exterior after just one use
  • Bolts holding the two firebox halves together have been reported to rust and break, letting the firebox separate
  • Paint issues are generally not covered under warranty
