Ole St. Nick was very very good to BBQHub.com this year. He brought me a CharGriller Duo LP Gas and Smoker/Grill Combo. What a great way to start out the year. While technically grilling steaks is not really “bbq” it still is a great way to celebrate Christmas. The setup has an LP Gas Grill on the left side and a Charcoal Grill on the right side. I am going to get the smoker box which comes as an accessory next month. The box attaches to the right side and turns it into a smoker. In addition there is a gas burner attached for keeping those baked beans nice and warm.
Features include:
- Porcelain Coated Cast Iron
- Stainless Steel Thermometers
- Chrome Plated Warming Racks
- 40,800 BTU’s
- Stainless Steel Tube Burners
- 12,000 BTU Side Burner
- Cast Brass Side Burner
- Adjustable Height Charcoal Grate
- Side Fire Box For Smoking
I am looking forward to doing my first brisket on this new setup. You will notice my old standby round grill to the left. It has served me well and will continue to use it. For the price, mine was $299.00 at Lowes, this is a great deal. (LP Gas was extra).

I have called all over Colorado Lowe’s store and can not find this grill. Char-griller does not sale it onlin either. Which Lowes in which state did you find the Dou grill?
Desparately wanting this grill……

If you can’t find it at Lowes’s, the other two spots I know of are Academy Sports, and Kroger Stores- which means FredMeyers stores Here in Washington. At least online…

I just bought one of these beauties at Lowe’s ($299, plus $56 for the side fire box for smoking) in San Diego. Set it up and used it this week to smoke several different types of fish. Next weekend, it’ll be pork ribs.
I am completely impressed. It is quite big, but I love having the convenience of a gas grill outdoors…and am a total charcoal fan but during the week I have to do the quick routine. The smoker works great, plus serves as a second charcoal grill when you need the added space.
I am a total fan and the price is hard to believe for all that this grill duo/or trio with the added firebox combo has to offer. Nice job Char-Griller!

Forgot to mention, for those of you still looking for the Duo, the Lowe’s web site said not one of the eight or so stores in my city had one…they didn’t even list the product online.
But I called the store nearest me and they had eight in stock. Call around, do not rely on the Lowe’s website for accurate stock.
Just a tip in case it helps.

I got mine for Christmas ’08 and I love it! I added the sfb to mine. I have grilled cedar planked salmon and steaks on the propane side and smoked tons…well maybe not tons but a lot of sausage, chicken, baby backs and pork steaks on the charcoal side. I love this thing! I am constantly online looking for more recipes! I have found a new passion!

Hi , Can you get a natural gas conversion for the Chargriller Trio?
THANKS , Mark

I am a backyard bbq master, i own 9 pig cookers, 7 of which i made myself. I bought 1 of these duo, and they are awsome. The way they perform, from temp control, to gas, to smoking is terrific. its an easy grill for anyone to use, and for those who are avid grillers will really enjoy what this thing offers.

How easily does the additional side firebox mount? do you need to cut a hole in the side of the charcoal smoker?

I had to pound on the “Knock out” just to mount the side smoker. I use it theis weekend and it worked fine but is was a major pain to get it mounted. I do like the grill but have only used it three times.
on Nov 18th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
I just got finished putting the firebox on the grill. Trust me, have the store you buy it at install the firebox for you. On mine the punchout was not cut thru and I dented in the whole side of the grill pounding it off. I called customer service, and they said they would send me a new grill bottom, so that is a good thing. All in all looks to be a great grill. I am going to cure it tonight and start smoking this weekend.

This is a great Smoker Grill! My wife and I used to have one just like it but have since upgraded to a larger model. The next time you are ready to fire up your Smoker Grill, give this recipe a try.
Smoke & Fire Pork Tenderloin with Sweet Onion Slaw
Serves:6 Prep Time:15 min. Cook Time:20 min.
Ingredients:
2 lbs pork tenderloins
2 chipotle chiles packed in adobo sauce, minced*
2 tbsp garlic-flavored oil
1/2 cup hickory-flavored barbecue sauce
Sweet Onion Slaw
4 cup packaged coleslaw mix with carrots
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup Ranch salad dressing
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp lime juice
The slaw can be made up to three hours ahead for this spicy dish. The slaw is a great partner for spicy
pork. Serve with fresh seasonal fruit and plenty of iced tea.
1. For Slaw, combine coleslaw mix, onion and bell peppers in large bowl. Combine dressing, cilantro and
lime juice in a small bowl; toss dressing mixture with coleslaw mixture just until all ingredients are well
coated. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
2. For pork, prepare grill with medium-hot fire. Combine barbecue sauce with chipotle chiles. Brush
tenderloin with garlic-flavored oil.
3. Grill 8 minutes per side, or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part reads 150 degrees F.
4. Brush tenderloin generously with barbecue sauce mixture and grill a couple more minutes, about one
minute per side.
5. Let tenderloin stand 5 minutes before slicing.

Thanks for your tips on this blog. One particular thing I wish to say is that purchasing electronic products items over the Internet is nothing new. In reality, in the past decade alone, the marketplace for online gadgets has grown drastically.
