“Does NOT perform as a barrel smoker.”
I recently purchased the BBQ Pro Barrel Smoker with Offset Firebox and was simply unsatisfied, and humiliated when I had to take the ribs off the grill and cook them in my oven after I got done bragging to all my guests what a great deal I got at sears. This GRILL does not perform as a barrel smoker and should not be named as such. As I am sure others have found out, the temperature does not get hot enough to cook the meat as it smokes it. Just for the record I had the offset firebox almost completely full of white- hot charcoal and the hottest I was able to get it was 170 degrees. For those of you looking for a BBQ smoker I would not recommend this particular model, for it does not function as it's name suggests. I wish I would have read some reviews first.
