Our take on the Master Forge 1010-Sq Black Powder Coated Horizontal Charcoal Smoker CBC23032L

The Master Forge CBC23032L is a horizontal offset charcoal smoker with a steel cabinet body and a split cooking surface. It is a low-cost entry into offset smoking: you build a charcoal fire in the firebox and smoke with indirect heat, the classic route to brisket, ribs and pulled pork. It suits beginners and backyard cooks who want to learn fire management without spending much. Against pellet grills it needs hands-on tending and lacks set-and-forget temperature control, and its thin steel holds heat less steadily than heavier offset smokers.

What reviewers say

Owners treat this as a starter offset: they like the real charcoal smoke and the roomy split grate for the money, and accept that it needs constant tending. Complaints center on thin metal, leaks at the seams and uneven heat across the chamber.

What people mention
  • BuildCriticisedOwners say the steel is thin and the lid and seams do not seal tightly, so smoke escapes.
  • Heat controlMixedThe offset design gives real smoke flavor, but temperatures swing and need constant vent and fuel management.
  • Cooking areaPraisedThe split grate is roomy enough for several racks of ribs or a large pork shoulder.
  • Fuel useCriticisedLong cooks burn through a lot of charcoal, especially in cool or windy weather.
  • AssemblyMixedPutting it together is manageable, but some owners report fiddly fit and gaps to seal.

Questions and answers

Is this smoker good for a beginner?
Yes. It uses the standard offset method, so you learn fire and vent control on a simple, repairable unit. Expect to tend it often rather than set a dial.
How does it compare with a pellet grill?
It gives stronger charcoal smoke and has no electronics to fail, but a pellet grill holds temperature far more steadily with much less attention.
Can I use it as a regular charcoal grill?
It is built for indirect smoking. You can cook over the firebox side, but it is not a substitute for a direct-heat grill.
What should I do about smoke leaks?
Many owners seal the lid and seams with high-temperature gasket or sealant. That improves heat retention and steadier temperatures.
How much charcoal does a long cook take?
Plan on refilling the firebox every couple of hours on long cooks, more in cold or windy conditions. Thin steel makes fuel use higher than on heavier smokers.
What is included in the box?
The smoker ships unassembled with the cabinet body, firebox, split cooking grates, lid and hardware. You supply charcoal, wood chunks and a thermometer.
