Amazon.com Review For classic Texas-style barbecue in any backyard, Char-Griller offers their Smokin' Pro Charcoal Grill. Using a traditional barrel design, Char-Griller optimizes heat convection and circulation to cook ribs or burgers evenly and efficiently. The grill offers 580 square inches of cooking space in the main grill, ideal for hosting a family barbecue in the backyard. The charcoal side firebox offers an additional 250 square inches of cooking space, bringing the grill's total space to 830 square inches. Barbecue chefs might employ the side firebox to roast a side dish of corn or vegetable shish kabobs for vegetarians in the family. The barrel of the grill and side firebox are crafted in heavy-gauge steel with powder-coat finish to endure high heats and long-term use. A double bottom also increases the grill's durability. Nonstick grill grates constructed in cast iron resist warping and embellish the heat and flavor distribution to meats as they cook. Grate height also may be altered for different dishes. Slide-out coal drawers enable cooks to add charcoal while cooking without removing grill grates and dump residual ash easily. A rack below the grill supplies convenient space for seasoning spices, paper plates, hot pads, and barbecue accessories. The airtight-flanged grill hood keeps bugs and debris out while containing flames and heat. The hood also features a heat gauge for temperature monitoring. The grill stands four legs with two sturdy feet and two wheels for transport. Char-Griller has several Smokin' Pro accessories available for separate purchase, including a warming shelf, rotisserie kit, and propane igniter. The grill requires assembly upon delivery and includes thorough direction, as well as several barbecue recipes. This item is covered by a one-year warranty for material or craftsmanship defects. The grill measures 62 by 29 by 50 inches and weighs 146 pounds. --Jessica Reuling

  Good upgrade from previous r2d2 smoker July 20, 2008 Just put this together yesterday and I am very happy with the quality of metal and grill grates. It needs to be seasoned prior to use and will continue to develop a nice non-stick surface the more its used.
I didn't give it 5 stars because it does have some issues. My biggest issue is heat and smoke distribution in the barrel during side fire box smoking. The chimney shaft doesn't extend far enough allowing heat and smoke to escape too easily. Also the part of the barrel closest to the fire box is much hotter than that on the opposite end. Finally the thermometer is low quality and in a poor position for gauging the temp around the meet.
These problems can all be solved for the most part with some simple modifications. With a google search I actually was able to find several guides on modifications for this model.
Here is a good one that address all my issues: http://www.deejayssmokepit.net/Downloads_files/CharGrilleMods.pdf
For the price, you can't get a better smoker;
Happy smokin'
  Great Smoker July 12, 2008 Great smoker, I'm enjoing it very much. I did put a better temp. guage at a lower level just off the grill grate to the left of center, and extended the smoke stack lower in the grill with some tubing .It can now hold a 220 temp forever.Very easy to put together.I'm just smoking some ribs and chicken so far and they came great. I use real lump wood charcoal and some wood chunks. You can't beat this grill , great price.I give it a 4 star rating
  Great smoker June 24, 2008 Well built.Easy to assembly.Easy for a beginner that has not smoked food before to use.Great product
  Big Bang June 24, 2008 I did a bunch of research and this smoker grill is excellent value for the money. After I assembled and cured the grill, I made some awesome smoked ribs. Very easy to use in my opinion.

I like this grill because it is the size I needed. I recommend buying it but you need to know that it cooks very fast and there seems to be no real way to slow the cooking down, when you burn coals in the large belly, due to several holes that could not be closed. May be better to only burn coals in the small belly. Also it is a pain to put it together, it tends to be a bit wobbly.
