Makes wonderful smoked meat and cheese.

I love this product. I have used a cold and hot smoke to cook everything from meat to cheeses.  The flavor can be changed by using different flavored chips. I have also found that the flavor is more intense if the chips are soaked overnight.  This is a perfect sized smoker for my family.  We have...

My husband and I have debit cards that accumulate points for every dollar we spend and once we accumulated enough points, we were able to purchase something out of the catalog.  We spotted the Brinkmann Smoke 'n Grill Double-Grill Charcoal 810-5301-C and thought it would be awesome to have.  We...

Brinkmann Smoke 'n Grill - Entry level smoker
a frequent barbecuer, messy, value conscious, not rich

The Brinkmann Smoke 'n Grill is a cheap way to get started if you are interested in smoking meats at home. 

Assembly is pretty easy.  Many retailers are willing to assemble it for you and it will easily fit in the back of your car assembled.  It is light weight easily moved.  Its appearance is nice and looks similar to other more expensive smokers.  It costs around 30 dollars to buy, which most folks can afford.  Make sure you stock up on charcoal and wood chips/chunks for smoking. 

The charcoal pan and water pan seem somewhat thin and I am a little afraid they wont last through more than...

Charcoal goes out fast, hard to keep it up to temperature

I just bought this smoke n' grill at home depot. Second time we used it. The first time we smoked our ribs for five hours and had a hard time keeping the temperature past 180 because the charcoal kept dying. The apple wood chips would smoke. I checked for oxgyen, did a second batch of coals and I couldn't get it to the mid point of IDEAL temperature. I just need it hotter.

Today I am doing it again, and still having the same problems. I am going to try half the water, Already am making my third batch of coals and it has only been 1.5 hours. Also when I dumped it the charcoal after we were done... read full review »

The smoiker grill is the best thing since the wood fires.
Easy to use and easy to clean.I have been using the
seems like all my life. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
When it gets to where I have over used it, I go and
get me another one.I keep thinking that one day they
maybe inspired to come out with a blue one. That
would be soooo great. I have recommended to friends,
family, and co-workers that the smoker is the best.Most
them agree.

This is the best grill I have ever had. It gives food that good smoked flavor. Great for hams. You just have to make sure you get your charchol right, and it will never fell you. When I cook hams or or turkeys I will get another batch of charcol ready in a pan to the side and when the old charchol goes out i put the new hot ones in. You can cook all day with it. I love it.

You like REAL BBQ, You can make it at home with this grill!

If you've ever wanted to make reall slow cooked smoked BBQ at home, the Brinkman Smoke N' Grill is the best way to get started. Easy to use, hard to mess up. Perfect, fall apart BBQ every time!! Just make sure you add a few chunks of charcoal every hour and that you never let the water run out. If you do that, you'll never fail....or burn your meat. By the way, I read some of the other reviews and of the negative ones, these guys wouldn't know the difference between BBQing and Grilling....it's a big difference and this is definitely for BBQing.

The worst smoker I've ever attempted to use.  My dad got a green egg and passed this one to me.  I already own several smokers and am attempting to use this one for the first time right now.  When I get through...assuming I do.  I will throw this Brinkman Smoke and Grill in the dumpster.  Charcoal doesnt stay hot and burn out too quick.  Just a huge hastle.  Do not recommend wasting your hard earned cash on this.  Save up and buy a real one!

This grill is the best to use if you like the taste and smell of smoked food.  I prefer hickory.  It has two levels of racks whick comes in handy whether you have alot or just alittle food to cook.  Since it is a smokers grill the aroma is so appetizing.  It really gets you in the mood for food just by the smell.  Only thing is that the heat isn't distributed evenly so it takes some food longer to cook than others.

     This grill has many positive aspects to it as it can barbecue food in just a short amount of time.  The food ends up tasting really good and you and your family can enjory a good meal.  One problem with this grill is that it can take a long time starting up to cook the meat.  the fire on the grill is juust right has it cooks the inside and outside of your food leaving that great barbecue look.

 We BBQ A lot and my husband is also into competition BBQ events. We use the Brinkman Smoker/Grill at home when we don't need the size of the competition cooker. The Brinkman is great to learn to smoke on and turns out a consistantly good product. When you want to smoke low and slow (the best way!) this small cooker can't be beat!

I'm a beginner at BBQ and smoking food in general, and I have only used this twice.  Now that it's warmer out, I expect to use it more.  It gets the job done in terms of smoking, and there is a huge amount of space for food.  It was difficult to regulate the temperature, but I suppose that gets easier with experience.

I love my Brinkman grill and use it all year long. The smoky flavors can only be achieved from the smoker. It can be used for any meats and fishes. It's a must have for the grill lovers! The charcoal flavors far outweigh propane grilling. Using mesquete chips enhance the flavors and smell wonderful.
