Pros: small, durable, very reliable cooking

Cons: none yet

Review: This article has been updated on 11/01/2000. I was pretty new to epinions when I wrote it the first time and needless to say, it was pretty awful. I hope this gives a little more information for potential buyers.

Pros: Smoking and grilling

Cons: Heavy to move

Review: The Brinkman Smoke 'n Grill has proved to be a valuable asset. We barbeque frequently especially in summer. Too hot to cook indoors. For the price, the grill is very sturdy. I was impressed by the thickness of the metal and the very heavy legs. The...

Cons: can take a long time to get up to temperature, and causes a tremendous amount of smoke

Cons: No Thermometer. No vent No viable thermostat

The Bottom Line: Cheap and easy way to get into smoking

Review: Well I got mine about a month ago. So far it works great. I have done chicken, ribs and brisket. It stayed at about 250 degrees and everything smoked and cooked fine in roughly the time we thought it would take (which is slow). I am using it without a ...

Pros: Nice picture on the box.

Cons: No temperature control, lousy construction quality, potentially dangerous.

The Bottom Line: Not recommended under any circumstances.

Review: I used it twice and threw it away--money wasted. The biggest flaw is the absence of any temperature control. Serious barbeque--which is what I bought it for--cooks at 200-225 degrees. This thing roars along at about 375. That might work for poultry, ...
