Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy slow-cooked barbecue and authentic smokehouse flavor with this top-of-the-line charcoal smoker and grill. Perfect for large gatherings, it comes equipped with two chrome-plated steel cooking grills that can hold up to 50 pounds of food. Cook a ham on one level and a chicken on the other. Both the top and bottom grill levels cook at about the same temperature, so when cooking different types or cuts of meat at the same time, place the meat that cooks the fastest on the top grill for convenient removal. The unit's domed lid supplies a heat indicator for checking the temperature at a glance, while its front-hinged door allows for adding charcoal or water during the smoking process. Other highlights include a porcelain-coated steel water pan, an extra-large aluminized-steel charcoal pan, high-grade wooden handles that stay cool to the touch, a separate base pan for easy cleaning and set-up, and a lightweight design at just 28 pounds. A heavy-duty outdoor vinyl cover and an instruction manual come included. The charcoal smoker and grill measures 17 by 17 by 35 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars
great results. easy to use.,
By Aaron J Dykstra (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill with Vinyl Cover, Black (Lawn & Patio)
I have used mine a couple of times now and have to say that the smoky flavor and easy use are the main selling points on this product. The cleaning is not too bad, just a little bit of elbow grease to get some of the smoke and grime off the water pan and grates.
For my birthday, my brother was kind enough to order a smoker off my Amazon wishlist. I finally got a nice day and good piece of meat to try it out. I have to say I was totally impressed. I was impressed that I didn't burn off my eyebrows (even though it was close). I was impressed that the simplistic heat guage's ideal, really meant ideal. I was shocked by the quality of meat to come forth. Overall it rocked. So, picked up a pork tenderloin that I did a dry rub of * Sea salt * lemon pepper * cayenne pepper * garlic powder on to the roughly 1.25 lbs of pork. I filled the water pan with a bunch of water, 4 cloves of garlic and a dash of port. I used some mesquite chips (thoroughly soaked) as my smoking agent and let it cook for 2 hours. The piece of meat came of with the most amazing flavor that I could imagine. Necessary summer equipment.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good entry level,
By JV (CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill with Vinyl Cover, Black (Lawn & Patio)
This is a good entry level smoker. The price, compared to Lowes, is about 2x more here. I got this smoker as a gift and after a few tries I'll say this - once you smoke, you'll never want to go back to grilling. Preparing the meat (see brine recipe) and controlling the temp is the key to making it great smoked food. Make sure you monitor meat temp to know when to take it off the smoker.
Some cons: - The smoker is alittle flimsy. Mine came shipped slightly bent so the cover is sometimes not on all the way. I'm sure a more expensive smoker will be better made. - The heat is hard to control and takes some practice. A better grill may provide more of a means to control temp more. Using charcoal, not gas, will take more practice. I would probably spend more $ to buy the weber smoker rather than this one had I bought it but if you want an entry level smoker to try this is a good start but find a better price.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Fine for chicken, not for brisket,
This review is from: Brinkmann 852-7080-V Gourmet Charcoal Smoker and Grill with Vinyl Cover, Black (Lawn & Patio)
This smoker lacks any type of adjustable air vents, top or bottom, for controlling the temperature and fire. If you plan on doing something like a brisket, which can be on the smoker for 6+ hours, easily, you will spend 6+ hours checking the temperature every ten minutes.
That said, it does work well and you can produce a good brisket with this smoker. Pros: large water basin, price Cons: no adjustable air vents
