Americana Grills - Americana Charcoal Water Smoker, Vertical Outdoor BBQ, 351 sq in - Black

Smoking meat comes down to steady low heat, moisture, and a constant flow of smoke, and a charcoal water smoker brings all three together in one tall, simple unit. The Americana Charcoal Water Smoker burns charcoal for both heat and smoke, with a chimney-like body that pulls fresh smoke up and over the food for the deep flavor charcoal is known for. A loose-fitting lid and tight-fitting doors keep that smoke moving past the food instead of escaping. Inside, 351 square inches of cooking space split across two chrome-plated grids, leaving room for ribs, a pork shoulder, a small turkey, chicken, or fish in one session. An extra-large 5.5-quart water pan sits below the food and adds moisture through long, slow cooks, which helps keep meat tender and carries steam and smoke evenly up through the chamber. Flavor channels help direct the smoke, so it spreads across both racks. The doors slide open on the side, and the handles are heat-resistant wood, so you can check the food or add charcoal, water, and wood chips partway through without taking the smoker apart or letting the heat out. A built-in temperature gauge on the front lets you watch the heat without guessing, and a removable ash pan makes cleanup simple once the cook is over. Built from black steel with heavy-duty reinforced legs, the smoker stands steady through repeated use and measures 37 inches high, 21.5 inches wide, and 25 inches deep while weighing only 18 pounds, so it is easy to move around the yard or patio. It is made for outdoor use only. It handles low-and-slow barbecue, smoked poultry, ribs, and fish, and keeps the controls down to charcoal, airflow, and the water pan.
