Son Of Brisket Large Charcoal Grill Review

Customer Ratings:

I own a 4 ft. Son of Brisket, now for about 10 years. Most people don't like to cook with charcoal and the reason is, it's hard to get the coals hot. But it's easy if you know the trick, and the trick is to get some Weber Chimmey Starters and three sheets of newspaper. You turn the chimmey Starter over and stuff it with three sheets of newpaper and turn it back over and fill it with charcoal and light the newspaper on fire in about 20 to 30 minutes your going have some glowing coals ready for cooking. Now to get on with the review, the Son of Brisket is two products in one, depending on the configuration you want to use. You can grill or smoke with it, this is what makes it very unique and it's easy to control the cooking temperture, due to it's simple design. I have left my grill outside for 10 year's and there are no signs of rust. The only problem I've had is the temperture gauge stop working, notified Tiernan and they sent me one free of charge, now that's what I call service. There's nothing like pulling off, a couple of racks of fall off the bone ribs and the brisket so tender, that it will make a Great Dane want to turn around and kiss a bulldog. If I had to buy another grill, I'd buy a Son of Brisket in a New York minute, bottom line.

I got my 4-48 SOB direct from the Mfg. I have had pits before from Texas and none compare to this one. First off the size of the SOB will let you cook anything and anyway you prefer. Want to grill -16rib-eyes no problem. Want to slo-cook -6slabs of ribs laying flat..gofor it!! To get this size of pit from anyother pit mfg in the state of Texas will cost you double and big time shipping costs. The smoker box will let you slo cook all day long at 250 degrees..just add a little briquets every hour and that is it. Some prople dont understand why I like large bbq pits. It is really quite simple. I like them for their flexability. You dont have to have the whole sucker full of food. But you have safe spots. You can sear steaks and chops and then move them to a cooler area to finish up. You can throw in two full briskets or a small pig with no problem. This pit is made to last. The body is 14 gauge steel and the door is 11 gauge. You get a top notch pit thermometer as well. There is no need to have a bbq to grill with and a smoker for lo and slo. The SOB does it all. If you want to do competition Que in your backyard get a SOB!! This pit is pound for pound the best around. I should know, I have just about had them all!!

Best Deals for Son Of Brisket Large Charcoal Grill

Got the 4f grill for my B-day and Love it. It is a solid heavy grill. has wheels on the bottom to move it around and lock it in place. Has a huge area for grilling and is completely rust free. The customer service is the best ever. Once again this is a 100% USA MADE. It took me months to find a grill made in the USA. I did not want anything made in China. I had been through 2 China made grills and was sick of them falling apart plus there was not customer service. You can tell that the builder took alot of pride building this grill. It is a great conversation piece. Once I started grilling on this heavy duty grill all the other grills I would see in Lowes or Home depot seemed so flimsy and breakable. It comes with a smoker compartment and has adjustable openings on the side and on the chimney. Also there is a slot that pulls out and you can dump your ashes in about 20 sec. I got 2 containers of herbs and a detailed direction manual that included a recipe in the back for ribs and rub. Because it is so heavy when the top closes and it keeps all the smoke and heat in. I have to use half the normal coals becaues it stays hot 450 degrees for atleast 3-4 hours withougt replenishing. I would hightly recommend getting the custom fit cover for it. It fits like a glove and is a nice tan faux leather color.

Downside and yes there is only one downside is that the grate is not adjustable, but since it has such a large grilling surface you can easily do indirect grilling so that compinsates for the non adjustable grate. Thanks SOB! Your the BEST!!
