Marshal Centerbox Smoker & Grill

1,200-sq-in charcoal smoker with a centrally mounted firebox for even heat distribution across primary and secondary grates.

$699Approx. MSRP
Great forfeeding a crowdreal charcoal flavor

A reasonable pick for a beginner who wants more even heat than a standard offset, but inspect fit-and-finish carefully on delivery since owners report inconsistent quality control.

Pros

  • Center firebox placement gives more even heat across the cooking chamber than end-mounted fireboxes
  • Large 1,200 sq in cooking area
  • Heavy-gauge steel construction with dual temperature gauges for monitoring both zones
  • Loads of cooking room — 1200 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Charcoal efficiency complaints on extended cooks
  • Component fit (grates, seals) reported inconsistent between units
  • Some early glowing reviews reportedly came from units seeded to reviewers, so weigh online praise carefully
  • Heavy (235 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Some owners report smoke leaks and poorly fitting grill grates
  • At least one detailed forum report describes the firebox needing frequent refills and burning charcoal inefficiently on longer cooks
