The sun is out and the ribs are done!

Date of Review:  May 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy the Brinkman Gourmet Charcoal Smoker if you prefer perfectly smoked meats at a fair price!
Review: It's the Memorial Day weekend, my belly's full and my clothes smell of hickory smoke. I've just spent the day slaving over a mound of beef and pork ribs, expertly prepared in my Brinkman Gourmet Charcoal Smoker. My Brinkman is one of a long list of...

First Time's the Charm

Date of Review:  Jul 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you want a water/bullet smoker, this is a quality item.
Review: I thought this smoker was great right out of the box. For my trial run, I smoked an 8lb chicken and a 7lb butt. Like the other reviewer, I use a charcoal chimney. I started with one chimney and had trouble getting up to temp until I added the second...

My results with this smoker.

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: Could not figure out the right process to use to get this thing to give the results I wanted.
Review: My grilling experience started with a Happy Cooker. It was a charcoal grill very much like a Weber, and was sold by Montgomery Wards. It had a higher dome lid then the Weber which made it perfect for Turkeys. I used to turn about perfect golden...

I've had good results from my Brinkmann Gourmet Smoker

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a reasonably priced, entry level, smoker then I would recommend the Brinkmann Gourmet Charcoal smoker. Practice make perfect.
Review: I have used my Brinkmann Gourmet smoker twice over the last two weeks and had acceptable results both times. Smoking/BBQing food is different from grilling, even indirect heat grilling, and takes some practice.

I found the Gourmet grill...

Excellent Product - Great Results

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: This product is great for anyone who wants to learn how to smoke meat and/or for anyone whose budget is somewhat low. Converts easily to a grill. Great purchase.
Review: I purchased this smoker after doing a LOT of research on smokers. We could not afford the Weber Smokey Mountain, which was reviewed to be the best small-budget smoker (about $260), so I purchased this one because it fit our budget the best ($100 at...

Easy grillin'

Date of Review:  May 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys grilling.
Review: My wife got this as an anniversary gift from her employer. There were a bunch of crummy things to pick from, so I vote for this. I'm glad I did.
Assembly - I broke it out on Memorial Day weekend, assembled it in short time. There is a little...

This smoker works great.

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2008
The Bottom Line: Smoker cooks tender meat. Can use as normal / portable charcoal grill. Coal easy to access and has vents in base, heated quick. Costs lot less than other smokers.
Review: I purchased this smoker for a couple of reasons. The smoker cylinder lifts off the base for easy access to hot or cold charcoal. The charcoal pan has slots/ vents and the drip pan has a hole for air.
It can be used for charcoal grilling too...

My whole family was really impressed

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: This easy to use Smoker/Grill is great. Having never smoked before and having the rave reviews I got the first time, makes this a staple in my household.
Review: I love the results so far! My first attempt was Moton's marinated Tri-Tip from Costco. We had a Original Smoke House and a Rosemary & Wine.
I filled up a charcoal chimney and we are off! Once the charcoal was ready I just dumped it in the tray,...

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2003

Review: As an experiment, I use the second grill to put the coals on. This took care of the problem with the coals and significantly stabilized the cooking temperature.

I ultimately made a grate for the bottom with expanded metal and some one inch...
