Our take on the Napoleon AS22BK 22 Inch Apollo 22 Charcoal Water Smoker

The Napoleon Apollo 22 is a vertical charcoal water smoker built like a cabinet on wheels, with an enclosed lid, a built-in thermometer and a 22-inch-wide cooking area. It competes with bullet-style water smokers and cabinet smokers: it offers more cooking surface than most bullets and a steadier, more humid cook than plain offset or kettle setups, but it is a dedicated smoker rather than a grill. It suits people who want set-and-forget low-and-slow barbecue for ribs, pork shoulder and brisket at home. Reviewers tend to like the capacity and the water pan's effect on moisture, while noting the charcoal use and the need to manage vents by hand.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Apollo 22 generally praise its cooking capacity and the moist, steady results from the water pan, and many find it a solid step up from smaller bullet smokers. Complaints centre on charcoal consumption, fiddly vent tuning and the lack of a side shelf.

What people mention
  • CapacityPraisedOwners say the wide cooking area fits several racks of ribs or a large pork shoulder at once.
  • MoisturePraisedThe water pan is credited with keeping brisket and poultry from drying out.
  • Charcoal useCriticisedLong cooks use a lot of fuel, and owners refill the basket more often than they expect.
  • Temperature controlMixedVents hold a steady temperature once dialled in, but newcomers report swings while learning.
  • BuildPraisedThe steel body and lid feel solid, and the thermometer is accurate enough for everyday smoking.
  • Side tableCriticisedThere is no shelf for trays or tools, so owners bring their own table.

Questions and answers

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.
Where is the Napoleon AS22BK 22 Inch Apollo 22 Charcoal Water Smoker cheapest?
