- Is the Apollo 22 a smoker or a grill?
- It is a dedicated charcoal water smoker. It is not built for high-heat grilling, so keep a kettle or gas grill for searing.
- How much food fits in it?
- The cooking area is 57 inches wide, enough for multiple rib racks, a whole brisket or several pork shoulders across the racks.
- Does it need a water pan?
- Yes, the water pan is central to how it cooks. It adds moisture and helps hold temperatures steady, and it needs refilling on very long cooks.
- How hard is temperature control?
- It is manual. You adjust the vents by hand and learn the settings for your target temperature; an external thermometer helps.
- Can one person move it?
- The wheels help, but it is heavy and bulky. Move it on flat ground and plan a permanent spot for it.
- What comes in the box?
- The smoker body, lid, water pan, charcoal basket, thermometer and wheels. Fuel and cover are not included.
