I don't need another grill.. I don't need another grill.. maybe I need another grill
Bought this grill several years ago, when they were clearing them out at the end of season. Paid $39, at Walmart, but would not hesitate to pay $100. This is a great little grill that has a lot of versatility for grilling and smoking. This will blow your regular compact grill out of the water. Still have it, and have not had any issues.
I used metal conduit on over the legs to make mine regular height

Managed to catch it this time! Going to be a great addition to my mini pellet smoker when I don't feel like breaking out the big guns!

Don't need one, but this is a great deal. Perform a few simple mods to prevent air gaps, and you've got a tremendous little smoker. Can't say enough good things about mine.

What mods?

This is a nice grill and a killer smoker but the reviews about it rusting are also accurate. I highly recommend seasoning this thing heavily. Coat any exposed metal with heavy oil and fire it up to 400 for an hour or more.

I only use this if I'm in the mood for charcoal cooking or smoking. it takes time to use the chimney and get to temp (especially if you're using a lite amount of coal because this is designed to hold a temp). I normally use a propane grill with smoke box because it's a tons faster to use for frequent cooks.

Specifically, I ran 1/4" x 1/2" high-temp gasket around both the primary opening and ash pan. Leave the factory-installed gaskets on. These "factory shorts" work great and 10' is more than enough for the entire job.

Then I picked up a small tube of high-temp RTV sealant and ran it around the gap where the top damper meets the main body top. I also removed the bottom slide damper, removed the factor sealant, and ran a small bead of the same RTV around its perimeter.

These steps pretty much guarantee the only airflow in and out of the smoker is via what you dictate with the upper and lower dampers. You can really dial those temps in.

doesn't really matter. Vegetable oil, Canola oil, whatever oil you prefer.
If it is left outside make sure it has a cover and REMOVE THE ASH PAN.
That ash pan will pool any water that gets in. I'd leave it disconnected unless cooking.
