Questions about Broil King 958050 Offset Smoker,Black

How thick is the metal?

Answer: Sadly, the cheeks/endcaps are pathetically thin...the fire-box sags off the cook box, so not nearly thick enough, for the money you spend.

Answer: Can’t say the thickness, but this grill is very sturdy and very well made in Canada

Answer: Nice & heavy-duty, especially the firebox. I’ve had mine right at 3 years, cooked in it a million times for hours on end, never once had any sign of problems.

Answer: Comparatively sturdier than many other similar grill/smokers that I’ve seen.

Answer: These are no longer made in Canada; they are now made in China.

Is this unit, the broil king offset smoker 958050 american made?

Answer: China and Canada I gave it away piece of junk.

Answer: North America

Answer: Canadian

I did not receive the damper door for the inside. I see a similar review. How can i get it?

What is the chamber dimension?

Answer: The grilling surface is ~18" w x 30" l. Total height is ~9".

Can you cold smoke in this small of a chamber? I'm thinking blocks of cheese...

what is the distance between the grill and the charcoal?

Answer: Depends how much charcoal you pile in! I use mine almost exclusively for Indirect cooking i.e. smoking. The large cooking grates in the left have big metal drip pans underneath and you can put a nice layer of charcoal in one or both for about 3” of distance to convert it to a charcoal grill... and the firebox on the right (which is where the charcoal and wood are supposed to burn) has very heavy duty grates right above the heat which are fabulous for a very quick sear before moving the meat to the left side for indirect/smoking.

Can you cook with normal logs with this firebox? Or does it need to be charcoal?

Answer: You could, but they’d need to be pretty small logs. The firebox is perfect size for charcoal plus wood chunks for smoke, though.

Answer: As long as the logs fit into the side box, you can burn them.

What is the weight of the unit? Description says 11 pounds, but that is obviously incorrect.

Answer: It is heavy. Can’t say exactly

Product reviews of Broil King 958050 Offset Smoker,Black

Gordon : Made in China

These line of grills are currently made in China.
The grill is of good quality so I cant complain too much, but I purchased under the impression that these were made in North America. I was fooled by Broil King's misleading advertising on their website.
BK does in fact manufacture some of their gas grills in USA and Canada, but not these or their pellet grills.

EDIT: After assembling the grill, I added one star to my review. The grill is of good quality.

Amazon Customer : Poorly made

Lid fit badly broken thermometer no replacement parts says Canada parts made in China.

Shane : It's not terrible

Doing my second weekend of smoking ribs on this grill. It's not terrible. The packaging was sub-par and it has rub marks along the entire back side of the grill, I rubbed in some oil when I did the burn in and it helped. The thermometer is sadly just a joke, it has never moved from bottomed out and fogs up. Of course you will need to add some gasket material to seal it up tighter. These are minor things, but if it was perfect I'd review it as such. In general it does a good job, and with some practice I'm sure I can get some incredible meals out of it.

Grateful dad : Heavy duty Smoker, just what I wanted!

We had a little trouble with the 3rd party shipper "losing my smoker on their shipping dock" which delayed delivery for a few days, but after some phone calls we got it straightened out, and once they "found it", they even agreed to my request fro Saturday delivery to try to make up for their error. The Broil King Offset Smoker is EVERYTHING it should be, and MORE! Great product. I assembled it myself rather than pay >$100 for the privilege, and had no trouble or missing parts whatsoever. I am a happy BBQ man now!
