“This grill works GREAT and is very versatile !!!”
I bought this grill on sale for $100. Took it home, unpacked it and set all the parts out on my workbench. I kept looking for the assembly instructions, but couldn't find them. After a bit of searching through the packing material, I finally found the assembly manual stuck to the back of one of the cardboard...

Okay! So I have had this smoker for 2 months. I waited to write a review because I am new to smoking and I am the kinda guy that feels if there is anything worth doing it needs to be done right. The first time I used the smoker option I was kinda disappointed. The stock thermo never broke 200 degrees....

BBQ Pro Barrel Smoker with Offset Firebox - Black Reviews
The paint peeled a little on the first but I had it too hot as well so it was expected. Worked great though. Nice size because it's not too big but not too small. Did a great job on ribs and wings. Assembly was pretty easy.
The BBQ pro sign is upside down,fire box is too small it won't build up enough heat,thermometer seems to be incorrect
and the grate in fire box is not heavy enough after 1 use it's out of shape and won't last,no grease drain on main smoker
barrel. But I can say 1 good thing the cooking grates are very heavy.
I purchased the BBQ Pro Barrel Smoker with Offset Firebox from Sears this morning. I brought it home and got it assembled quickly. Putting it together was no problem. I immediately started a charcoal fire in the firebox and prepared the pork and tri tip roast with seasonings. I waited until the charcoal started to ash and turn white, then added some hickory chunks to the coals. I check on the temperature after about 30 minutes of cooking and the gage showed just under 200 degrees. I checked the damper on the firebox and saw that the opening was partially blocked with a lump of charcoal. So,...

Did a lot of research looking for the perfect grill for my husband's Christmas present. After months of checking out the different options out there, BBQ Pro's particular style 'stuck out of the crowd.' Not only did it offer all I was looking for (i.e. style, height, surface area, attached shelf), it also fit perfectly into my budget even after taxes. When I mentioned height earlier, I was referring to how high it sits off the ground. My husband is 6' 3" and all the other grills similar to BBQ Pro's were about 4" shorter! This particular grill fits perfect so if you're ergonomic conscious then...
read full review »Try as I might, I could not get the temperature of the main cooking chamber over 150° with a fire built in the firebox. I've been grilling and BBQing for over twenty years- I don't think it was me. The grilling surfaces themselves are nice and heavy. The steel on the rest of the pit? Not so much- kind of thin with quite a bit of flex. I lost most of my smoke between the lid and bottom of the main cooking chamber on the side with the firebox. I really wish I had gone into the store and looked at the pit before buying it on line. Kind of a let down considering how excited I was over the first 'que...
read full review »After wanting a smoker for a long time,but not wanting a huge barrel in my back yard, I thought this one would fit my needs.Let me tell you,I was right! Like most I did my research, and even read the reviews here. Growing up in the South, the number one rule to smoking is "You smoke with wood and grill with charcoal". Most of the reveiws complained about the temperature, and all were using charcoal. Long story short,I bought one and it works great. Follow these tips:
1) Only use enough charcoal to start your wood on fire. About 15-18
2) Charcoal will never reach a continuos temp above 200...
read full review »I bought this grill in late fall/early spring for my husband's birthday. One of the kids and I put it together, which wasn't hard to do...you just had to follow the directions and keep the nuts and bolts loose until you placed the main barrel on the legs of the grill. I would recommend this grill - its pretty sturdy and I was delighted with the thickness of the metal. We are still getting the feel for using the smoker itself, but have had a lot of fun doing that.
The only problem I experienced was when I ordered the recommended cover. It was $10.99 and stated that it was for the 'regular...
read full review »This smoker is one of our favorite ways of cooking. It is healthy for you, and put in different favors of wood and you can have Texas, New Orleans , or good old smokies cooking without leaving your yard.
I treated myself to this grill this summer & used it for my annaul cookout. There's usually 30-40 people that come to my event & this year I got so many compliments on how tender & juicy the meats were. There's pleanty of cook space & the 'smoker' is great for keeping the heat in & cooking evenly. Best grill I've ever owned.
