Review 1 for Char-Broil American Gourmet Deluxe Offset Smoker
Good smoker for the money!

I bought this smoker as an early Christmas gift for my son. He LOVES it! He cooked some pork for BBQ, a brisket and some chicken the first time he used it. This unit has some serious room in it. Everyone raved about how good everything was. He was proud to show off his new smoker. I believe he would recommend this for the novice or experienced griller.

More Smoker for the money

Assembly was straight forward and well diagrammed only 2 screws were missing from the hardware pack and were something you could pick up anywhere.
The only issue to watch out for is the charcoal grate in the main drum of the smoker.
If the charcoal gets too hot it can bow or warp.
The cooking / smoking grid was so big that you might be able to do a whole pig or several briskets at the same time and if you are using it to cook burgers and dogs it will defiantly take care of large family reunions or hungry cub and boy scouts.
Product is an incredible value.

I purchased this smoker for my dear husband who LOVES to smoke meats. He drilled holes in the bottom of the fire box to keep fluid from accumulating from the water soaked ickory chunks he uses and to prent rusting. We also spent $25 on a 70'' grill cover. We are Very happy with our purchase!

The paint bubbled up and peeled off on the fire box on the bottom and the top. The smoker is a bit drafty which makes it hard to control the temp. It does have a lot of cooking surface and does smoke the food so it serves its purpose if you put some effort into it.

First Smoker

This is my first smoker. After hearing all the stories from my buddies at work, I had to try smoking food. After looking at reviews from different retail stores, I chose this offset smoker at Walmart. It was fairly easy to put it together, I did it myself in about 45 minutes to an hour. I seasoned the smoker first by rubbing the inside of the smoker with Canola oil, and then stoked it up I smoked baby back ribs that same weekend and they were absolutely amazing. The outside of the firebox bubbled and the paint blistered when I seasoned it and you will smell paint burning. Get yourself a can of high heat paint to touch it up. From what I read and see, it happens to all of them. Smoker seems to hold the heat well. There are modifications you can make to help alleviate smoke/heat loss. Youtube has plenty of videos to help with cooking and mods. Definitly worth the money. If you are thinking about getting into smoking, go for it!!

We bought this smoker on 5/3/13 and I seasoned it the way that was called for and just today I smoked beef back ribs my very first ribs ever!! and they came out perfect. I could not be happier with my smoker. I plan on cooking a brisket this Memorial day and I know it will be great!!! Oh and by the way I put it together by myself except for the fire box. I needed help.

Good Backyard Grill, needs fine tuning
,04/17/2013

Good smoker for the backyard, but I would say better in the hands of an experienced BBQ-er'.
It has some faults: It leaks smoke all around, the firebox is not air tight so hard to control temp, and the biggest issue is controlling heat to the grill. What I mean is, there is no damper between the firebox and the grill section, just a big opening. So the tempature in your grill will depend only on the size of your fire, there is really no way to regulate it. I plan on cutting a piece of steel and fabricating a damper for this issue. I also installed two temp gauges on each end of the grill that read actual degrees. Factory gauge reads (cool, ideal, hot)??. With all these little issues, it actually worked really well for my first cook - did two racks of ribs and were excellent.

If I could do it...... ect.....

GREAT smoker!!!!! I am a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) survivor, and I put it together myself :). I read directions step by step, and one thing a lot of ppl don't know about, is to "brush all interior surfaces, including grills and grates with vegetable cooking oil" then build a small fire on the fire grate" and lighting it and letting "burn" for "2 hrs, the longer the better". Common for you to do this for any new smoker/grill with a painted surface. It helps protect the inside/outside from rusting. I did as directed (didn't want to wait to smoke, but hey......) and have smoked in it 4 times, no rust ;)

Was very easy to assemble I did this by myself while my husband was at work. My only helper was a 7 year old.(lol at least she tried to help) If you do it alone you will need something to hold up the firebox while you attach it. A chair and my knees worked fine for this attaching the bottom for smoker box first helps for lining it up. Everything lined up perfectly and the instructions were the best I've ever gotten in anything, very simple if you just go step by step. This is a great size for any family and I would highly recommend this item to anyone. Happy Grilling!!!

I ordered this smoker and they shipped it to my door in 6 days in great condition. It doesn't take 2 people to put it together as suggested, I put it together in an hour by myself. It has great step by step instructions and was all there when it arrived. I start my fire with charcoal and then put wood on that and continue with wood throughout the smoking process. It smokes meat wonderfully and there is an awesome amount of room. This is a wonderful smoker at a great price.Thank you Wal-mart

My husband loves this smoker, although, the metal is thin, the first time we used it, the paint came off on the hot spots, it says you can grill in it, but it's better as a smoker. Bue all around we really love it and do recommend it to buy, you will be very happy with it

overall this is a nice pit for home bbqing. how ever the shipping was very lousy... the box arrived looking like it had been in a train wreck... the hardware packet was open and some of the screws were missing. there were numerous dents and dings on the various metal parts.. while i would recommend this pit i would say to pick it up at the store instead of having it shipped to your home.

Great big cookspace, and very versatile for the money. ONE TIP: Drill a few small holes in the bottom of the fire box to allow moisture from wood chips to drain. Otherwise, the fire box will rust out. This is our second grill, because we did not do this previously.

Not a bad smoker for the money

You get what you pay for. If your a weekend smoker/griller it's not bad for the money. You will end up making some modifactions IE drilling drain hole in fire box. Also get some firetape to fill the gaps between the top and bottom of the firebox. I cut the grate for the firebox since when I smoke I don't charcoal only wood gives me more room in firebox. Happy smoking to everyone!
