re: Chargriller Smoker Pro - I've been eyeing one of those real good; with the offset firebox.

Where did you buy it? HD, Lowe's? I'm thinking/hoping I might catch one at the end-of-season sale.

I got mine at Lowe's - it does a great job. If you want the version with the side fire box, I strongly recommend, however, that you let them assemble it for you. I bought mine "in the box" and the assembly was a little more difficult than I anticipated.

The main grill section only took about 20 minutes, but adding the side fire box took another hour and a half! The reason is there are tack-welded metal plates that have to be knocked or drilled out before attaching the firebox. If you're doing this in a well-equipped workshop it's not a problem, but doing it in your yard or, e.g. on an apartment balcony is a bit harder. I didn't have a drill handy and had to do some serious hammering with a punch!

Thanks!

Understand the difficuly potential with side-box assembly. But I have tools and patience. The result will be well worth the effort. Especially since Mrs. Red and the little Reds love my Q. It's good to be me :-)
