Big Q,
By
This review is from: Landmann Black Dog 42 With Offset Fire Box (Lawn & Patio)
This is one solid machine! The side firebox allows for 'proper barbecue' and is big enough to operate as a small grill when you like. Also the smoker-box (the big part) is LARGE (as backyard qs go) and the charcoal grate is on a pully-system allowing you to move the coals closer to your food for searing etc.
The one thing I would like to see is an additional thermometer for the firebox, I installed one and it makes keeping the temp in the smoker-box steady easier. Assembly was rather painless and there were a minimum of parts which came unassembled.

Grill needs refinement,
By BBQ Dan (Kansas City, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Landmann Black Dog 42 With Offset Fire Box (Lawn & Patio)
This grill showed some promise but after using it a couple of times, I'm ready to see it go. The actual construction is heavy enough but the design is really lacking.
The handles for the lids are attached using very thin bolts that will not remain tight. There is not much clearance between the handles and hot surfaces so singed knuckles are common. The handling of ashes and grease in the large cooking chamber is a giant pain. There is a hole in the bottom with an air vent damper and under that is a catch pan. Problem is, with the charcoal grates installed, you can't get to the ashes with a shovel or brush to sweep them into the hole. If you've used it as a smoker, unless you have perfectly placed pans to catch the drippings under the food, the bottom of the unit will be one greasy mess that is virtually impossible to clean. A removable ash drawer would have been infinitely more practical and useful. There is no way to add fuel to the large chamber if you are using it for direct grilling. This is generally not a problem since normal fuel will last long enough for most foods but there are many instances where being able to throw in some wood chunks or additional charcoal with ease would be good. There are no shelves attached to this unit so if you have your grill heated up and are needing to load your food, better bring a friend to hold the tray or have a patio table close by. A real nuisance on this grill is every time you open the lid on the large chamber, the vent damper falls shut! You have to remember to readjust it after you close the lid or you'll choke down the fire. Finally, the unit arrives with an adhesive label affixed to the lid. Once the grill is heated, it can be removed but it leaves a nasty sticky glue residue. The grill has a lot of room so you can cook a lot of food at once. That's the good news but the bad news is you'll be in for a real chore come clean up time.

Great buy for the money,

This review is from: Landmann Black Dog 42 With Offset Fire Box (Lawn & Patio)
I was originally going to make my own B-B-Q but this one seemed to have all the features I was looking for, for less than I could buy the materials to build my own.
First let me say this grill is as advertised very easy to assemble. It is made from very heavy grade steel and the parts fit reasonably well. I have used the grill for three major cookouts now and have been very satisfied with the results. It has been easy to maintain the temperature I was looking for and the grill works very well with smoking meats. The only things which I have found to be annoying is the lids are not fully welded so smoke pours out all over the place, not just from the vents. The vent on the side does go fully closed whenever the lid is opened and must be readjusted each time you check your food. The grill did come with a sticker on the lid which has proved impervious to removal both before and after using the B-B-Q. I plan to do a minor redesign to address these issues this winter and expect to have the B-B-Q I wanted, working the way I wanted for much less $$ than I had planned for. PS After I purchased this item on Amazon I looked at it in other places and all I can say is Amazon's prices rock. I found this same item listed for up to 4 times as much money in other places.
