Excellent and versatile
By Ben
I've had this smoker for about four years now. Mine is a slightly older model without the lower storage doors. It's been a great smoker, and it's a fantastic value in this size range. It's solidly built, and I haven't had any problems with it. The only criticism I have is that the built in thermometer doesn't seem to be all that accurate. I'd recommend using a digital probe thermometer instead.The vent doors make it easy enough to control the heat. I usually load the fire box with two Weber chimneys worth of Kingsford charcoal. Start with the fire box vent closed, and you'll get about 250F in the smoke chamber. As the coals begin to fade, open the vents to maintain the temp. I make a lot of ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and salmon. They all come out great.This unit works great as a grill too. The crank works well to adjust the height of the coals, which is a nice feature.

Large grill perfect for backyard use - GREAT GRILL!!!
By CyberDoctor
I purchased this grill just before the Memorial Day weekend and have used it several times a week all summer through the Labor Day weekend. My old Brinkman of similar design finally rusted out after 4 years of constant use. Although the new Landmann was more than twice the cost of the old Brinkman, I wanted to have a little larger grill with the attached smoker box. The Landmann is certainly more sturdy than the Brinkman, although I liked the adjustable grate design on the Brinkman much better. The adjustable grate system seems a bit flimsy on the Landmann (as compared to the Brinkman design) and tilts when brought all the way to the top of the grill. I have grown tired of trying to readjust the cables so I will learn to live with it.Overall, I have cooked some of the best food ever on the Landmann over the course of this past summer. I have grilled and smoked just about every form of meat and vegetable imaginable, and even some pizza. The large size, sturdy construction, and attached smoker made it a perfect choice for my needs. I am very happy with this grill/smoker.Just as a note, here are a few minor considerations when purchasing this grill:(1) Assembly - bring a friend. This is a large heavy grill and will require two people for assembling many of the parts. I took it on by myself and was regretting the choice after the 4th hour of wrestling parts. This thing is a bear.(2) Gloves - buy some. There is absolutely nothing on this grill that you can touch with bare hands once it gets fired up. Unlike other grills with insulated or heat resistant handles, the handles on this grill will conduct the same temperature as on the body of the grill. You certainly do not want to touch those nice-looking and inviting front doors without gloves. Ouch!(3) The large size of the grill makes otherwise simple operations a bit formidable if you want to avoid being burned. I managed to find a decent fireplace kit on sale and use the poker and shovel almost every time I cook. The long stems on the fireplace hardware help to keep arms and hands from having to reach over or into the fire.(4) There are no "wings" or other areas on this grill for setting anything down or keeping tools, sauces, etc handy. You may want to consider getting a cart.(5) Plan on low and slow smoking at an average of 250 degrees. Even when the smoker box gets heated to 700 degrees, the temperature in the main compartment rarely exceeds 275 degrees. But it does a great job of sustaining a fixed temperature over a period of time.(6) Minor rust developed almost immediately although it is stored under a carport roof and under my old Brinkman PVC cover when not in use - it NEVER gets wet. This is easily addressed with some sandpaper and some high-temperature black rustoleum; certainly not a deal breaker.

I have owned this grill for about 2 months. So far, I would have to say I am pleased with this product. The construction for the most part seems solid and sturdy. The charcoal box is easily accessible via both the lid and the side door. The handy double doors in the front make it easy to add charcoal if used for direct grilling. The slide out ash tray is also a huge asset. This is a large grill allowing lots of space for preparing meals. I have performed a few modifications such as adding a heat deflector to even the heat distribution and a charcoal basket to hold the coals in place. This grill is able to maintain steady temperatures in excess of 6 hours easily and the firebox responds well to intake vent changes. My only real concern is rust. Although I have seasoned the grill twice, it appears I already have a small amount of rust starting to form both in the cooking chamber and in the firebox. I keep the grill covered while not in use using the Landmann cover designed for this grill, but it is outdoors. It appears that the rust spots are on located in the pullout charcoal tray in the smoking chamber and the bottom of the firebox. A few times, I have noticed water in these areas after a heavy rain. I believe the lids on both sides are the culprit because they are only tack welded in some places where the metal joins. I believe this is allowing water to enter the grill. Right now this has not been a large issue becase I usually sand out the rust spots and coat with oil after heavy rains. I am concerned however of how many seasons this grill will endure before one of these spots begin to rust through.
