Barbecue smokers – do I need one if I have a charcoal grill?
If you have a charcoal grill, it is sometimes (but not always) difficult to use it as a smoker. You have to constantly tend to the charcoal as it tends to burn faster in a grill than a smoker. Also, it is difficult to keep a constant temperature because of the quick burn charcoal.
Therefore enter barbecue smokers. If you been thinking about purchasing a smoker, you are probably bewildered by all of the products available. A good place to start is by looking at the best sellers. After all they are best sellers for a reason. Here are the best sellers from Amazon:
