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

Danielbbeck : Heavy good

I found this product is thick well built and beautifully cooks.

Alan : Great Smoker

Just a great smoker that fills the gap between the super expensive ones and the cheap big box hardware store ones. I have owned over a dozen smokers this is my favorite.

Denise Spanjer : Ready assembly. Arrived earlier than promised!

Went together like a dream. Made in Canada with craftsmanship. Even provided spare bolts screws, etc. we love it

Knobby-Camp : Not NEARLY a great smoker

Overall, it's meh, at best. I think maybe some of the rave reviews could be from folks that have not had a good offset before. Seriously concerning is is the corners cut using those lamely thin endcap/cheeks on this smoker; They are so thin, the fire-box literally sags without anything in it, as it's pulling on the cheek of the cook chamber. I've spent half as much in pits that were twice as thick, and never have I had one with a sagging burn-chamber. Unacceptable for the price. I would have much rather given-up the pretty handles and Kenworth-sized chrome badging in trade for thicker metal (at least on the cheeks and stress-points) and a gasket on that burn-chamber that spewed smoke so badly it ran us off the deck. I'm a fabricator by trade, so I will modify what needs modified to bring this thing up to where it should be (add a box-wide stick of 3/4" angle in both the cook chamber, as well as the burn-chamber, drilled exactly for the two top mating bolt-holes, with stand-offs in the cook chamber to pull that burn-chamber back level and give it the support it needs, as it's too much trouble to send this overpriced turd back. Of course there is no short supply of the fiberglass gaskets on the intent to fashion one for the fire-box, SO THE HEAT AND SMOKE HEAD FOR THE COOK CHAMBER!!! NOT WORTH THE MONEY! And not that this fact matters much to myself, as I know both good AND bad products come out of China, but this is certainly NOT made in North America...China it is. As we've set out to use this on our deck, I've noticed two more issues...one of the adjustable leg pads is crooked. Also, whomever is fabricating these things must be first year welders/fabricators...the spot welds are insufficient, and fitup looks like a child did it; the shelf on the front of the cook chamber was fabricated out of square, and the posts that slip into the sleeves on the front of the grill are not symmetrical, in angle, nor in length, which has the work-surface lopsided. If this was a 300.00 grill, I'd mention none of it, but it's not. I will build my next one, to be sure.
