I love my @chargriller. I use it all year around even in 2 feet of snow

This is a good video, I'd just point out that it's only okay to choke down the vents if you're ONLY USING CHARCOAL. If wood is added to the fire, choking down the vents will make the wood smolder and could give the food bad flavor. Not too huge of a problem if it's only a small chunk or two, but too much smoldering wood for too long makes for some bad bbq. I have the Char Griller Smokin Champ and I've done videos on my channel showing the difference between charcoal only cooks and cooks using wood. I love my Smokin Champ and I think it's a great offset for such an affordable price tag. Keep 'em comming Char Griller!

Added the side fire box to my side by side and it has made the experience much more enjoyable and beneficial! Thank y'all!

I’ve had my char grill 17 years yes I’ve replaced the bottom twice with diamond plate steel and the wheels even built a new firebox it’s been through two tornadoes
And bent up I tapped out the dents and kept on going

It’s finally showing its age now a end rotted out

With 5 kids trust me it’s been used heavily
It was my Father’s Day present

I wish they were made that heavy still

Thank you char grill for the memories

Adding a side smoker on our grill today, super excited

I have had my Char griller model 2121 for over 10 years and mostly grilled using charcoal and loved it. Stopped using it a few years ago when I got a gas grill (for convenience) and let my Char griller rust out in the weather. Last year, I cleaned up the Char griller repainted with high heat paint and removed the rust of the grill plates and seasoned them. This year I have added the side fire box and started smoking. Getting the temp right takes a little work but, once there, I can maintain the temp throughout the cook. I may add some grill tape gasket to take care of the areas that heat/smoke escapes from, but overall I am very please with my Char Griller.

I have this smoker for over a year now with mods and always had to chase temps and could never get good heat over 275.Watched a vid on you tube and cured my issue.Took the entire side fire box tray out.LEAVE IT OUT!! Made an additional curved pan (form fitting) for the bottom of the firebox about as wide as the f/b.Got 2 grates and put them in a V pattern, one in the back and one in the front with the bottom edge touching the curved pan.Bottom edge is right to left.Then put a full chimney of lit coals and pieces of hickory in the V and "BINGO" Outstanding heat controlled by the amount of wood on the coals .Wide open firebox side with no factory ash tray and wide open stack flap.I liked this so much better .All my 3 river gauges stayed more consistent and the ribs and chicken turned out perfect and juicy.Give it a try!

My very first smoker was the char grilled offset. I called it baby girl. Many cooks later I finally rusted through. I wouldnt trade the experience of learning to smoke on an offset before getting into the other cookers.

Just got a char-griller today and I love it👍

[LeunamRM-hvfo]

I had the normal grill and I smoked on it several times I enjoyed it for two years and I just give it to my daughter and now I’m ready for this smoker 💪🏼

[MamaEzi]

Thank you for this video! First time trying to grill. I got scared and put the brisket back in the freezer. I wish I found this video two hours ago. I have the courage to try this soon

Here's a bigger tip to offset smoking...

Add some baffles!
Especially around the smoke chamber and the firebox. if your chimney does not come down in your smoke chamber about 6in I would highly suggest adding another six inches to force the smoke out. This enables with a lower temperature

Just got the side box for fathers day. Stoked!!!

[valeniusthekat]

I picked mine up today and i can't Visions of spare ribs and homemade smoked 👅😂💕👍

[gpotter]

My first and only smoker, I LOVE MY CHARGRILLER PROFESSIONAL SMOKER💯👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

[DrSabbatical]

Best tip you can give someone for an off set is max airflow. Restrict and it will be a billowing bark tasting mess!

[masterofnonetv]

My first charcoal smoker was this very model!

[rockyfortner]

I've had 4 of these, cooked a lot of good food on them.put a moving blanket on the lid, keeps the temp stable.

[Shadowbot]

LOVE my char griller. Smoking some ribs and chicken quarters now lol

[SmokinwithKasket]

Restricting that smoke stack damper would be OK for charcoal only. If your burning wood, it needs to be open - wide open.
