Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Extremely affordable. BBQ, offset smoker and a charcoal grill in a single unit. Cleaning the Char-Broil American Gourmet Offset Smoker is easy. It is easy to set up and use. Its side shelf is a useful and handy feature for keeping the utensils you will be using with this grill.
Turns out delicious smoked meat. It can fit a lot of food together. Impressive ability to control heat and smoke. Considerately easy to clean up. Goes well with briquettes rather than wood charcoal. Lightweight and portable. Great for beginners, easy to assemble and cook.
One of the cheapest offset smokers on the market. Comes with all the basics to smoke at home. Cool touch handles. Built-in cart for portability. Deluxe version offers more space for a bigger cook up.
Versatile 3-in-1 design. Impressive heat-resistant firebox. It can be used for indirect smoking or direct cooking. Easy to clean.

What reviewers didn't like

If you want to use wood as the preferred fuel, you will have to cut or split it into smaller pieces. The entire surface may be small for some users. If you are looking for a smoker that connects with your grill then this is not the model for you.
Have to keep on adding charcoal if it is a 4-6 hour cooking session. Learning to control heat is a trial and error process. Assembly can be tiring. Have to keep a sharp eye on the temperature. The thermometer doesn’t have proper numbers. This is not for a quick meal.
Doesn’t support grilling. Thin metal body won’t retain heat well in colder and wet climates. Thin metal may warp if temperature gets too hot. Prone to flaking paint. Cheaper design will leak some smoke. Thermometer isn’t always a reliable measure of the true temperature making it hard to smoke meat.
Limited warranty period of only 90 days. Inaccurate temperature gauge. May need to be repainted to achieve higher heat-resistance.
