Excellant!

This charcoal smoker has become a staple for our camping trips and home usage. The grill came packaged nicely and securely with very simple to follow instructions. Assemble took around twenty to thirty minutes then we were ready to start our first use. It doesn't use a lot of charcoal but depending on what is being made on the grill water may need to be monitored and added throughout the cooking process. This grill has two screen openings on the front the top one of which opens up to allow venting. Surprisingly the amount of meat this smoker can hold is amazing we did a whole brisket in it as well as three racks of ribs and they fit with no problem at all. The smoking was evenly done throughout. The heat indicator on the lid of the smoker is nice and simple to keep an eye on if needing to adjust the temp.

attractive appearance

The Americana stainless steel charcoal smoker is easy to assemble (45 min to an hour) and the body of the smoker and wooden handles give it a pretty attractive appearance. It has a heat indicator on the lid which indicates if the temp is Warm Ideal or Hot. This really has nothing to do with the temperature of the meat itself and is only useful to see if the charcoal needs re-lit. Speaking of which it doesn't come with any charcoal so that will need to be purchased separately on your own before getting started. I've noticed a few cons while using this product. The first is that the material is pretty lightweight and flimsy. I would be concerned if trying to cook on a windy day that the smoker would be blown over. I also feel like the thin material might make it difficult to cook in the winter or on a cold day. Another negative is that the pieces don't quite fit together as they should and I had trouble getting the lid onto the main section of the smoker. The doors did also not slide open & closed smoothly and required a bit of force. My overall opinion of this smoker is that it is pretty basic and might be a little difficult for someone with little to no smoking experience to operate and be successful at. The brisket I made took much more work and took much longer than anticipated. It ultimately turned out well but this is not something I could see myself using on a regular basis.

Just ok!

Used it for the holidays. Made good meals. Easy to assemble. Can't wait try hickory in it and smoke some ribs this summer. Just got this vertical smoker today and assembled it. Cheap hardware thin main body and the locking latches are super flimsy. Only thing that feels well made is the bowls.

Great for Large Cuts of Meat

The Americana Grills Stainless Steel Charcoal BBQ Smoker is a breeze to put together. It holds large cuts of meat and a large water bowl. I love that the water bowl is large so that I am not constantly dropping the temp to fill the bowl up. The adjustable doors are perfect for adjusting the temp on the meat. I love the Charcoal flavor with the ease of this smoker.
