Delicious barbecue grilling and smoking at a great price

I got the Char-Griller Smokin Pro charcoal grill as a birthday gift and have been grilling on it every week since. I have smoked a lot of different types of meat including chicken, ribs, and ham and every time it has tasted excellent. These grills are really designed well which is something that an old bbq pro like myself can appreciate. When I priced them out online I was surprised at how affordable it really is.

The temperature is very easy to regulate on the Smokin Pro which is something that hinders other charcoal grills. I can keep the grilling surface at around 220 degrees without much effort. The grates come in 4 different pieces so they are easy to move around when adding more briquets if you happen to be grilling in the main chamber. I find that there is a lot of room to use it as a smoker as well.

The only negative I have seen is the paint has flaked off in a couple of spots when the fire box got too hot. It does state this in the manual so I really can’t fault the grill for doing so. It only happened in a few tiny spots so I just hit it with some high temp paint to get it back to looking like new.

Overall the I recommend this the Char-Griller Smokin Pro to anybody who enjoys a traditional charcoal grill that can also be used as a smoker. If you are on a budget then this unit will more than suffice.
