It is a Char-broil vertical charcoal smoker. Wanted a Master Forge or Brinkman but neither in stock and this seemed close. Figured a decent starter and then we'll move on to something else after we get this down.

I got the master forge for my starter 2 years ago and still love it. Search your model in the search bar, you should be able to find some mods to make it a better running unit.
