Looking to buy a new grill/smoker Wed, 11/15/06 1:37 PM (permalink)
I have been using a Weber Smokey Mountain for a couple of years. It doesn’t have a lot of room. You have to pull it half apart to get to the lower gill. It's nice but looking for something easier to use and has more room. I am looking at the Char Griller Smokin Pro BBQ Smoker:

I would like to know if anybody uses one and how they like it or could recommend another grill/smoker.

    There's a long thread about it[url='http://www.barbecuebible.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1467']here[/url]. It'll take you some time to get through but you'll learn a lot about it.

    FWIW I have a Char-Broil Silver Smoker, which is an offset unit like the Char-Griller. I don't use it very often because it has more capacity than I usually need.

      go to the "threw a few ribs on the grill" thread. John A makes some excellent recommendations.

        I really like the looks, capabilities and apparent resuls of the Traeger pellet griil/smoker. See the thread, "threw a few ribs on the grill" under BBQ.

          I saw one of those on sale at Lowes I beleive. Was like 79 bucks and the 'optional' smoker/wood box or whatever they call it was another 50 bucks on top. I drooled for a week, then the sale went away. I'll get shot if I put another grill on the back porch, that and the fact I know nothing about true BBQ'n dont help either.
