- Do I need to buy a thermometer separately?
- Yes. There is no built-in gauge, so a digital probe thermometer is worth adding to hold smoking temperatures accurately.
- Can it be used as a regular grill?
- Yes. The cast-iron grate works for direct grilling with the lid open, and the lid lets you cook indirect.
- How much charcoal does it hold?
- It takes a standard load of briquettes or lump charcoal in the base; expect to refill on cooks longer than about six hours.
- Is it easy to move?
- The trolley wheels roll well on flat ground, but it is heavy, so lifting it over steps or curbs takes two people.
- What can I cook on it?
- Ribs, pork shoulder, brisket, chicken and vegetables all work; the single grate limits you to one level at a time.
- Does it come with a cover?
- A cover is not part of the standard setup, so plan on buying one if it stays outside.
- Where is the Drum Charcoal BBQ Smoker cheapest?
- At BbqGuys, for $1,399.00, as of our latest check.
