Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Grommet for digital thermometer is really handy in this case. It makes it so easy to adjust the temperature of the * without guessing how open the vent is. Only real complaint is how close the water tray is to the fire.

Says you only need a phillips screwdriver and an adjustable wrench. All bolts, washers, and nuts are packaged separately and numbered. There were 12 bolts and two pins to install.

Great little *. Bought this to augment my side *. All metal *, really ingeniously designed.

It's great - both out of the box and after a few modifications/enhancements done by the user. Takes me a bit to finally get it to set on the rim properly. got it in. I just want to clarify issues others are having.

It has the look and feel of a nicely made product of very good quality. Despite going together so quickly, it still is a very sturdy unit. Where heavier metal is required, they use it.

Cons

The bottom is not latched to the cooking chamber so there is no easy way to move it. That (along with a broken door latch) were the reasons behind returning the *. The water pan is shallow and the bowl isn't very wide.

Quality

Smoker is built sturdy and of good materials.

The smoker itself is heavy, sturdy, functional, easy to assemble, excellent quality, and easy to use.

I own various smokers and i am blown away at the quality of this unit.

During the seasoning burn it held 250f rock solid for an hour and a half on 20 briquettes.

Price

Overall for the price you can’t beat it.

This little smoker is great for the price.

Have spent a lot more money for a lot less.

So, i ordered an $8 self-adhesive stove gasket (lineba smoker gasket, 15 ft long bbq smoker self stick seal tape, 1/2” x 1/8”) ... Read More

Shipping

The char-broil 16 inch smoker arrived promptly, and securely, thanks to amazon.

They immediately sent a new lid that fit correctly at no charge.

Much sooner than the estimated arrival date.

After the service rep registered my smoker, they sent me another door handle for free.

Packaging/appearance

The not so good: the package was damaged upon arrival.

This was one of those rare situations that i got more than i expected as soon as i opened the box.

The smoker still looks like new on the outside and the ceramic coated cooking grates still look in as new condition also.

Competitiveness

Only a 14" surface on the other competitor.

I looked at alternatives, using both customer reviews and videos, and decided to give the char-broil 20" a try.

And best of all the car-broil is nearly $100 cheaper than the 14" competitor.

As a comparison i will say that i had ordered a well known competitor (cough, wsm, cough) a week earlier and while i never got ... Read More
