What’s the thickness of this grill?

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Hi JJ! I don't know how thick the steel is, but it's not that thick. In my opinion, it's much better than other products in its class, but it is definitely not as thick as products that are two or three times more expensive. This is a great grill for a beginner that still works great for a pro. Here's a link if you'd like to find out more about it. www.chargriller.com/collections/charcoal-grills/products/smokinchamp

Would you recommend this smoker

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Hi Mark! Thanks for the question. At the time of purchase, this offset smoker was in my opinion the best option for the price. I still own this one and I've cooked a lot of great barbeque in it. Overall, I've been very happy with Char-Griller products and yes, I would recommend, but I also recommend looking at the other Char-Griller options. Char-Griller recently released a new offset smoker called the Dakota. It's slightly smaller but it has the advantage of a one-piece main cooking chamber, which should do a better job of preventing smoke leak. The Smokin Champ shown in this video comes with a two-piece cooking chamber and when I first started using it, I found that smoke could easily escape from gaps between the bottom half and the top half. The offset smoker still worked well, but it worked a lot better once I installed smoker gasket between the two halves, creating a better seal. (see video... How to seal an offset smoker). The current price of the Char-Griller Smokin Champ is $379, per Char-Griller website and this is still a great option. If you don't mind spending a little more money, I would also recommend you have a look at the Competition Pro and the Grand Champ XD. I'll insert a links below. Bottom line, Char-Griller products are a great value and I feel good recommending them. I hope that helps! www.homedepot.com/p/Char-Griller-Grand-Champ-Charcoal-Grill-and-Offset-Smoker-in-Black-8250/314125664?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&irgwc=1&cm_mmc=afl-ir-3586222-456723-&clickid=3cW1JZzRMxyKTldQ3b3MMVlRUkHS6oxLEQRIU00 www.chargriller.com/collections/offset-smokers?_gl=1*mzhkm6*_up*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsuSzBhCLARIsAIcdLm57Sd3_nIS8gAdqFcRpiC9akbz8uoAdNkrHUrvluVK2tiduHtUs7h4aAng-EALw_wcB
