    Char-Griller Smokin Pro

    It took me a good part of the day to do the mods but it was not too much $. Maybe 30 to 40 bucks. Everyone says the therms that I bought are crap because they came from home depot and they are char-broil brand but I dont seem to have problems with them. I guess some guys need big thermometers to...

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro

    Here are my mods w/pics. Thought it might help. I attached the unused legs from the side fire box to the charcoal grate in the main chamber. Notice the right side, I bent the legs to fit directly over the bolts that are holding the side fire box on to the main unit. This also makes the side of...

    Chargriller

    Now you will pay over $200 for it. They are sold at lowes if you want to see a new one to compare to it. In my opinion it is well worth what he is asking and if it is good condition, probably more. Unless you plan on using it for target practice and dont want the bullets to go through it, the...

    Help! Where can I pick up a Smokin' Pro locally

    Lowes is the place to go. The two pieces are sold seperatley. The char-grill super pro and the char grill side fire box. They do not come assembled and thats where the fun begins. I have a hard time beliving they dont sell the side fire box. I would call them and talk to someone who knows what...

    how do you clean up your smoker?

    I have learned to buy lots of heavy duty foil for my CGSP. I suggest a puddy knife and a shop vac.

    Help! Trying to assemble Char-Griller!

    I personally did not plug the holes on the bottom. I dont think there will be too much heat loss. After I completed my mods I was seasoning the smoker (see below) and I had a ton of smoke going to see if I still had leaks and nothing was coming from the holes on the bottom. I am sure it wont...

    Help! Trying to assemble Char-Griller!

    I am glad that you liked my mods! This forum gave me plenty of ideas but I can take credit for the baffle design. I drilled holes too and it didnt help at all. After I got a corner removed, I used a pair of vice grips and spun them until it started to pop off. The problem with the holes that...

    Help! Trying to assemble Char-Griller!

    Knocking out the footballs are a big pain in the butt. I am sure you got it done by now but if not take the one that is giving you trouble back to Lowes and take back the dryer vent too. They will give you a new one. Ask them to knock it out for you or you will bring the whole thing back. They...

    My Char-Grill Mod Photos. Enjoy

    My complaint with Cowboy is much of the same. Seemed to burn quickly and I hate how many small pieces there are that fall through the chimney starter. I did get Royal Oak briquettes instead of the lump for that reason. I was told that they are the same thing just formed unlike the lump. Mind you...
