Hiram: Viene desarmado en una caja, depende de aduana si vuelven a empacarlo bien o no, en mi caso los tornillos estaban por todas partes pero no faltó ninguna pieza.

Armar el asador no es nada del otro mundo, solo es seguir el manual y en 40 min está listo.

En cuanto a la estructura del asador, la cámara principal puede no cerrar al 100% así que necesitan sellar los escapes ya sea con aluminio o silicon especial.

Los acabados están bien y la pintura se ve resistente a los primeros usos, llevo unos 5 usos del ahumador y hasta ahora ha resistido bien. También ayuda no tenerlo tan a la intemperie para evitar el óxido.

Si alguien quiere iniciar con el ahumado este es ideal antes de pasar a un ahumador de tipo bote o de pelets. La clave de las altas temperaturas es usar trozos de leña. Sirve el carbón pero solo en las primeras etapas, para romper la barrera de los 120 celcius un buen trozo de mesquite los saca del apuro.

Jill Nehila: This grill works well for money. The only thing that does not work is the thermostat to tell you when you've reached the right temperature.

Tiffiny f.: I really like my grill but I did think it was bigger but it was worthy of what I paid for it.

SuperTech: Great for over the coals grilling.
Good price.
Design doesn't allow rainwater into the bottom so it's not going to rust out the bottom in 1 season.

The metal is thin and it is hard to keep temp for offset smoking. It might show 400° F but around the meat it will be cold. I smoked chicken thighs for 3 hours with the thermometer around between 350 and 400. I wanted them done in about an hour. I took them off and had to cook them about 30 minutes in a 350 oven. Tasted great but it showed me how well the smoker worked.

I actually bought this grill as an in between grill, to last till I build my next one. The grill I replaced, I'd had for about 33 yrs. If you have the skill or money, get a welder to build a grill with precision and heavy metal.

JessouxJessoux: Le produit est bien pour le prix par contre, il est arrivé avec des bosses et des égratignures. En plus, que toutes les vis et les écrous s’étaient éparpillés dans la boîte, par chance il ne semble pas en manquer.

Archery noob: Nothing wrong with the BBQ itself except I have a problem with it closing completely. I assume that during shipping it was dropped/bumped and the lid doesn't quite seal properly. Still works great tho. I haven't tried the smoker yet tho. I won't comment on that part. Overall though a great deal

Wells Bengston: Initial Review;
This is my first smoker, and I've only cured it and used it one time. I'm afraid I jumped on this due to the price, before I had researched smokers. This is rare for me, but I was mainly looking for something with more flexibility than my Son of Hibachi. The Son of Hibachi is great for grilling, but I wanted to do some smoking as well, with the ability to also grill larger quantities than the Hibachi will handle..

What I have found, is that this smoker has all of the short-comings of typical off-set smokers, and that all of those short-comings are made worse by small size and relatively thin metal.

I cured it, as per the directions on page 3 of the manual, using charcoal in the firebox. I then added more charcoal, and rolled right into smoking some boneless chicken thighs, a pork roast, and a tri-tip. I used a mixture of hickory and cherry chunks. I put two 8x8 aluminum pans underneath the grills, and a 4x8 loaf pan as well, to catch drippings.

I found that, with charcoal, I was having trouble getting the temperature up on the grill. I found that the grill temperature, right underneath the thermometer, was much lower than the temperature...
