The Bottom Line

The Brinkmann Smoke'N Grill is a basic little unit designed to convert between a grill and a smoker. The grilling abilities are pretty good on the small cooking space, but the smoking abilities of this little gas powered unit are actually quite good. If you want a little smoker (that can smoke up to 50 pounds of meat) then this is a good unit to look into. This is a simple to operate gas smoker that gives you good barbecue without a lot of fuss.

Pros

  • Versatile function
  • Good temperature control

Cons

  • Limited cooking space
  • Tripod legs could be stronger

Description

  • One 18,000 BTU burner
  • Push button electric ignition
  • Two cooking grates that hold up to 50 pounds
  • Porcelain coated steel construction
  • Built in temperature gauge

Guide Review - Brinkmann Smoke'N Grill

This model has been discontinued.

This unit is similar too, but more limited than the Masterbuilt 7 in 1 Smoker/Cooker.

Basically this is a small gas powered grill (lava rocks included) built on a tripod. Add a steel smoking chamber on the top and you have a good little smoker that is easy to use and capable of producing good barbecue without a lot of work. The temperature control is good and you can basically load up this unit and not worry about it (though I wouldn't leave it alone for long).

As a grill, this is a little limited unit because of the low powered burner but as a smoker it can generate the heat you need without too much trouble.

All in all this is a good little smoker and if you can get a good deal on it you shouldn't regret it. However there are better units out there for the price.
