Tower’s 2 in 1 smoker grill sits in the brand’s budget friendly outdoor cooking range, competing with compact barrel smokers and simple kettle BBQs. The appeal is flexibility in a small footprint: you can grill over charcoal for quick burgers and sausages, or switch to smoking when you want slower cooked flavour on ribs, chicken or pulled pork. A heat resistant steel body helps it cope with higher temperatures and the soot and grease that come with real charcoal cooking, while the black finish keeps it looking tidy between uses.

Who is this for?

Anyone who wants to try smoking without committing to a large offset smoker. It suits patios and smaller gardens, and it makes sense if you like cooking for a couple of people rather than a crowd. Expect a bit more hands on temperature management than gas, but that is part of the point with charcoal.
