ASF Smokers

February 18, 2022, 02:49 PM

Just wanted to share a quick pic of my new ASF Smokers 20x24 charcoal grill that showed up yesterday. I won’t have a chance to get into it until Sunday, but it’s nice to have a completely American made grill that’s all 3/16â€ steel!

So far, I’ll say they weren’t kidding with the 3/16â€ construction. 225 lbs almost got away from me when I was getting it off the pallets lol.

I was searching the internet for a week straight looking for an American made charcoal grill and this place came up. It looked good, so I went for it. This thing ain’t no joke either at 225 lbs for such a small grill.

I checked out their website. Not bad prices for American made products that look like better than average materials and construction. Their pellet grill looks interesting and looks like it comes at a very attractive price point. Looking forward to hearing how you like it. Have fun!

Yeah, that was a surprise when I first checked out their site. Had no idea they made a pellet grill. I have one on order from LSG, otherwise I would’ve looked further into the ASF unit.

Yeah, I really should look into shipping. IF the unit works well, that's a hell of a deal.
