Should you buy it?
The Char-Griller Grand Champ is a large traditional offset smoker designed for enthusiasts who want capacity and hands-on control. Its 1,200-square-inch cooking area provides enough room for large cuts or several foods simultaneously, making it particularly well suited to big gatherings and ambitious smoking sessions. A separate side firebox supplies the heat and smoke, while dual dampers allow airflow and temperature to be regulated manually. Felt gasket seals around the cooking chamber help retain heat during longer cooks and the heavy-duty steel construction is designed for regular outdoor use. At nearly £1,000 this is a serious investment, but its size and traditional fire-management setup distinguish it from cheaper entry-level offsets.
