 NOT WORTH THE MONEY Feb 27, 2012
By erbear
THIS PRODUCT IS NICE BUT IT'S SURE NOT WORTH THE PRICE. COULD HAVE BOUGHT A SIMILAR ONE FOR HALF THE PRICE. METAL IS NOT VERY HEAVY DUTY AND RUSTS VERY QUICKLY.

 Great Value!!! Oct 01, 2011
By J. Stensland
Just received today. Early review is that this is a good smoker for the money, and with Amazon Prime the delivery is a real value. The steel is thicker than I expected, seals well. I was in the market for a Horizon or Yoder, but decided on this for to save 1/2 the price. Am happy with that decision. Have not smoked anything yet, doing 20 lbs of pork loin tomorrow. I was worried this was going to be real thin and flimsy. It is not. Would recommend so far.
Will be doing some mods - adding dual thermometers at grill level, adding heat baffle steel plate to distribute heat, extending chimney down to grill height. I will be adding some JB weld to seal the chimney, other attachments.

Proper Prep makes perfect grill! May 22, 2012
By Daniel Gregg
Okay, first of all....people that say this is junk or not worth the money obviously are not BIG cooking fanatics to us "seasoned" people. I have been grilling & smoking for over 15 years. This grill is perfect for what I do. The steel is a great grade and the parts were all there and fit perfectly. The price is just right if you want a great quality grill. The fire chamber has a grilling grate for cooking and the smoking chamber is big enough for two 15 lb briskets. I use this all the time. For people who say it rusts quickly...well duh!!! If you leave it outside in the weather without putting a cover over it, it will rust! It's metal people! I purchased this grill with cover for a great price! At the time on here I bought it for 449.99. No need to season this thing with PAM spray or anything else. What you need to do to prevent peeling on the inside is burn hickory in the FIRE CHAMBER ONLY at 500 degrees for a solid half hour. This will set the metal and allow it to cure. After that..have fun! I will be posting a video soon so you can see the quality of this grill. Also, if you have any questions, issues or comments the seller puts his direct email address on the instruction manual. I thought it was missing a handle, emailed him, found the handle shortly after and he still sent it anyway and told me not to worry about it....at NO CHARGE! Long story short....It's perfect!!! I am gonna buy the bigger in the next few months to expand my small BBQ business. Definitely worth buying! Questions on the product or advice on how to use, setup or storage email me.....critter.verizon@gmail.com
One of the best firebox smokers that a novice (who owns a power tool) can buy. Mar 16, 2012
By Rob
This smoker is everything I've wanted. I've only owned it for a 1.5 months and grilled many o'steaks. After using Royal Oak lump charcoal (that you can buy at Wal-Mart or like I've bought at a restaurant supplier for wood and charcoal) I will never use gas or 100% charcoal briquettes. The steaks I serve are restaurant quality now! :) I've also started my smoking journey. Been reading up on mods that you can do to a firebox smoker and decided to add flash shield (where chamber and firebox meet), fire bricks, and a tuning plate. I'd like to extend the exhaust pipe (chimney) down to the grill but I can't seem to find an elbow at home depot. I don't want to pay an arm an a leg for a custom fitted elbow either!
All in all this is a solid grill/smoker. Just make sure you have a partner to assemble (especially the firebox and legs) it makes it a helluva lot easier. A power tool goes a long way too which allowed me to get this beauty done in under a half hour. Sure you can get those vertical smokers which require less assembly or the cheaper Char-Broil or Brinkmann smokers at your local Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Lowes stores but trust me. First, there's is no comparison to the quality of the smoker. Go to the stores and check out the the firebox smokers. The thickness of the steel (feels like it's a tin can) and the flimsiness is what you'll notice. My Medina is solid like a tank! Second, the ash scraper, steel wheels, and ash catcher add a little more to a great product. Lastly, I give Medina River an A+++ for the way they packaged their product for shipping. When it arrived (white glove service through Amazon) the box looked beaten up. After opening and inspecting it all of the parts were wrapped with quality bubble wrap and fitted inside the box. Bravo Medina River!
You got one happy customer here. :)
