Charbroil "Outlaw"

SmokinBrew. yeah, I think that I typed in the wrong company name. It was easy, what with the names being similar. The missus and I checked it out on line and at the local Gander Mt. again this morning, It seems to be basically similar to the grill/smoker that I've got now but on a bit larger scale. It also accepts a hotbox that's side mounted and although I rarely use it, there is one on my present grill. It might be a better idea on the larger outfit. I'm basically a weekend and holiday cook but the larger cooking surface appeals to me , it also fits into my budget @ $199 + tax. I've got a mechanical background but I've reached a part of my life that although I like to smoke and barbecue I don't get fanatical about it. I used to have access to welders, both gas and electric but not anymore...........Dan.

SB, Good on you, that would be an ideal Fathers day gift.. I'm still not decided on a new outfit as I keep looking at my old grill and agonizing about losing an old friend. For the most part I'd just like to buy the parts and fix her up, but the downside to that is trying to either heat and beat the old parts to fit the new parts. It has sat out over the past few winters and even with a cover has not stood up to our PA winters. The spindly legs have rusted out pretty bad and even tightening up the hardware it's still pretty rickety. I don't have the room for a permanent setup so fairly portable is the way to go. I'm getting the itch for ribs and brisket and my 7 yr old Grandson AJ loves when I throw on a large budget pack of chicken legs, I don't know where he puts it all but he's my official taster lol. And I've been in awe of all of the different outfits that others are using. Good luck on whatever decide, I'll be rootin for you..........Dan.
