Weber Smokey Mountain Charcoal Smoker – This apparently is the most looked for grill so far this year, in terms of combination smokers/charcoal grills.

Char-Broil Offset Smoker Deluxe – This grill has quite a lot of overall cooking space, and comes with a side fire box to offset the heat as well as adding a smokey flavor to food.

Brinkmann All-in-One Smoker – As the name implies, this choice in charcoal smoker grills actually has multiple uses.
