Smoking involves cooking or smoking food slowly and gently at temperatures of up to 130°C. Unlike grilling, the food being smoked is not placed directly over the embers or fire but instead surrounded by hot smoke in the cooking chamber. The hot smoke in the smoker is fed from the firebox into the cooking chamber through a connecting opening.
This procedure ensures that the smoked food is cooked evenly and gently and does not burn or dry out. Smoking additionally gives the food that typical smoky barbecue flavour. The most important aspect of smoking is keeping an eye on the temperature development and the maximum or minimum temperature. All smokers from Char-Broil are fitted with thermometers that allow even beginners to easily monitor the temperature. Experienced grilling experts know their smokers inside out and are able to maintain a constant temperature even without using a thermometer.
Of course, our range of products also features high-quality gas grills and charcoal grills.

In hot smoking, the BBQ smoker reaches temperatures between 50 and 100°C. These allow foods with even a firm texture to be fully cooked within a few hours. The disadvantage of hot smoking is the loss of many nutrients and a shorter shelf life.
In cold smoking, the smoker grill reaches a temperature of up to 25°C, which significantly lengthens the smoking time. For ham or bacon, the cooking time may even last several weeks. An advantage of cold smoking is the fact that the low temperatures allow more nutrients to be preserved and even thicker cuts of meat or fish can be smoked without any problems.
