Royal GourmetCC2036F Barrel Charcoal Grill with Offset Smoker, Outdoor BBQ Grill with 1200 Sq. In. Grilling Area for Large Event Gathering, Black

I departed from the usual brand of smoker I've use for 40 yrs. but after the first use, I think this one may be better than what I've used in the past. The grate area is larger than I expected. The barrel compartment holds the heat at a consistent temperature and far better than my last smoker. I noticed during the initial heat tempering it held a consistent temp.On my first use I used less charcoal to get to and maintain the desired temp. Steaks turned out perfect with less oversight and management, I think due to the steady temp. I do a lot of grilling. I don't know yet about the long term function of this brand or this particular model but after first use I'm very pleased with the purchase of this smoker.Update : 2nd use .... very pleased with this smoker. It holds a consistent temp level for extended periods of time without the need to monitor the amount of wood or charcoal.Update : After grilling steaks, chicken, 'burgers, and smoking a 17 lb brisket, I'm still amazed at how this smoker holds a consistent temp. I don't know if it's the brand, the particular model, or I just got lucky and this one fits together better than most, but it does a great job. I can't say for others but for me, price and performance make this a bargain.

I have hosted many cookouts and put the smoker through the ringer. It's still durable, cleans up perfect, and is always ready to hold the perfect temp and steady smoke flow. The design that it has the offset smoker is amazing and for the money spot on You get more than what you pay for

Really good deal. Large. Deep cooking area. It is lightweight. Really need to cure it well. Put you something extra in the bottom for a heat shield. Paint came off in a few uses. Not bad for the money. A little tedious to assemble alone.

Great smoker, easy to assemble, I really like it.

It took 2 days to put put this grill together, it was not easy, but it is a really big, nice looking grill and smoker.

I'm going to be honest here. This thing was a b**** to put together. Not only did I almost break my finger because putting the top part on is ridiculous but after it was all put together, it barely holds in the heat. Spend the extra $100 on a different brand. That's the same size and everything because this is not worth it. It is cheap quality and after one rain pieces of it already were bent. Even though we bought a separate cover. The design is poor.

This was a great smoker for a year. However the smoke box is made of very cheap metal. It completely rusted off in 1 year. This was despite treating it with oil, and keeping it covered for the most part.The large cooking box did not have that issue. This is a perfect size smoker with plenty of room. Just wish the wood box was made better. It’s very weak and unsafe.

Easy to assemble. Follow the instructions and it is solid and sturdy (saw a negative review where someone decided to put the wheels on opposite end - mistake). Admittedly thinner metal with leaks, but $15 on smoker seal gasket makes it as tight as high-priced smokers. Great value, does a great job smoking, and incredible amount of grill space. Don't trust the thermometer - use your own probe placed grill high. Highly recommend!
