Our take on the Costway 40'' Vertical BBQ Smoker w/Built-in Thermometer Adjustable Air Dampers for Party

The Costway 40'' Vertical Smoker is a charcoal cabinet smoker with two removable 13'' x 13'' grates, a built-in lid thermometer and four adjustable air dampers. It stands 40 inches tall on metal legs, weighs about 39 lbs and has side handles for moving it around a patio or campsite. It suits backyard cooks who want a simple vertical charcoal setup for ribs, chicken, kebabs and vegetables, and it can double as a basic grill. Against pellet and electric cabinet smokers it asks more of the cook, since temperature is managed by hand at the dampers, but it offers more cooking height and grates than small bullet smokers at the same end of the market.

About the Costway 40'' Vertical BBQ Smoker w/Built-in Thermometer Adjustable Air Dampers for Party

This is a 40-inch vertical charcoal smoker that also works as a BBQ grill. Heat and smoke circulate inside the cabinet for even heating and a smoky flavor. It has two grill grates for cooking foods such as steaks, chicken, kebabs, seafood and vegetables.

A built-in thermometer shows the internal temperature. Four air dampers adjust the firepower and control smoke levels. The body is metal, with robust metal legs for stability.

The two grill grates are removable and easy to clean. Secure grate holders and door handles are included. Side handles make the smoker easier to move. Assembly is needed.

Questions and answers

Is this smoker good for beginners?
Yes. It is a basic charcoal cabinet smoker with a thermometer and hand-adjusted dampers, so it teaches fire management without electronics. Expect to practice holding a steady temperature.
How much food fits on the two grates?
Each grate measures 13'' x 13'', giving two stacked cooking levels. That is enough for a few racks of ribs, a couple of chickens or skewers and vegetables for a small party.
Does it come with a water pan?
Yes. The package includes the smoker, two grill grates and a water pan, plus a charcoal pan. A water pan adds moisture and helps moderate temperature swings.
Can I use it as a regular grill?
It can grill over the charcoal pan, but it is built primarily as a vertical smoker. For high-heat searing, a dedicated kettle grill works better.
How hard is it to add charcoal during a cook?
There is no separate fuel door, so you open the main door to reach the charcoal pan. That releases heat, so load enough fuel at the start and top up quickly.
Does it need assembly?
Yes, assembly is required. Owners generally describe it as simple, with legs, handles and grates to fit before the first cook.
