Product Description

The Gourmet Charcoal is our top-of-the-line double grill charcoal water smoker. It has two chrome plated steel cooking grills for a 50 pound cooking capacity. The smoker body lifts off the base for easy access to an extra-large charcoal pan, and also allows for quick and easy conversion to a waist high barbecue grill. A heat indicator in the lid eliminates guesswork. Features include porcelain coated steel water pan, front hinged door for easy access to water and charcoal pans, and wooden handles that stay cool to the touch.

I have owned this exact smoker before. When the previous unit rusted through I bought a lesser model from the same company and it does not perform well-charcoal does not burn all the way before it puts itself out. Used the new unit at Thanksgiving and it smoked a 13# bird in 5 hours and still had plenty of heat. It does generate a lot of heat compared to other water smokers but it works very well. It will do 2 4-5 pound chickens in 3-1/2 hours with fabulous results. The only downside is that it can not be left outside or it will rust. The bottom lip on the charcoal pan will collect rain and divert it into the ashes. I would buy this unit again

Have had two of these. They perform pretty well (for the money) overall, but don't expect them to last overly long. The feet are made from sheetmetal, and are prone to rust. Regulating heat can be tricky. Thermometer is functional, but just barely. Having said that, they have surprisingly good capacity. I have smoked several turkeys over time with them, and had great results. Same thing applies with pork shoulders. It can be difficult to replenish both water and charcoal, but you can do it if you're not in a big hurry.
