Charcoal Grill Smoker: Great For Camping Or Backyard Barbeque
As opposed to an electric grill, which needs to have electricity available before you can use it, a charcoal grill smoker can be used anywhere; such as rustic camps or when you go camping. A portable charcoal bbq grill or grill smoker can be taken just about anywhere and fired up.
Although an outdoor electric grill might work much the same as a charcoal grill smoker would, unlike charcoal grills, the cooked food doesn't have that smoky flavor. So, for those who love smoky tastes, a charcoal grill smoker is just the thing. For those people, this one fact would make them dismiss any possibility of purchasing an electric grill. So, if you think the purpose of cooking outdoors is to get that specific flavoring, an electric grill will not suffice. In that case, a charcoal grill smoker might be just the ticket.
There are many manufacturers who make charcoal grill smokers. Char-Griller makes the model 2123 Wrangler 640 Square Inch Charcoal Grill / Smoker. It is a barrel-design charcoal grill with a 600-sq.-in. cooking space and cast iron grates with adjustable heights.

Char-Griller's model 2137 is called the "Outlaw". It's a 1038 Square Inch Charcoal Grill Smoker. The Outlaw offers more cooking area that just about any grill on the market.

WARNING! Any type of charcoal grill smoker puts off carbon monoxide, so you can only use them outdoors. Carbon Monoxide can overwhelm you without you being aware of it. The first symptoms will be a severe headache. If you're starting to feel drowsy, open the windows immediately. People have died using portable charcoal grills indoors.
