Char-Broil Grill Smoker BBQ $55 @ Anaconda in Store and Online (Extra for Postage)

740

Hi folks - long time listener, first time caller here.

Whilst looking around for a charcoal BBQ, and smoker I came across this deal. This is a basic charcoal BBQ grill, with a smoker attachment on the side. Reading some reviews it seems pretty decent as a beginner setup, and at this price you probably cant go wrong!

RRP from their US site is $110 USD (link: http://www.charbroil.com/smokers-fryers/cb-american-gourmet-…

But on Amazon it's $70USD (link: http://www.amazon.com/Char-Broil-Offset-Smoker-American-Gour…)

I picked one up from Anaconda in South Wharf DFO and I believe there are still plenty

    • but is this on ebay? also shipping costs $60 odd

      • +2

        Important since people might be interested in alternatives that ARE on eBay.

        • +1

          i realise that, i was simply asking if this was on ebay (ive no idea if anaconda have an ebay store but many other places do) but with the $60 shipping its probably still worth picking up if you can, tho it sounds like a lot of places have sold out already anyway so back to my original question mainly for the benefit of others caus i have already picked mine up….

          but is this on ebay?

  • shipping kills it. $60+ for bris

    • I thought there was an anaconda at springwood or am i mistaken?

      EDIT: there is 3? lol

      • +1

        There isn't 3, just one in Logan and none in stock

    • +1

      Go and pick one up, you don't have to get it delivered.

  • +1

    $321.88 for delivery :(

  • Oh nice one with the 25% off, luckily i havent picked it up yet, so will go by tomorrow to get it a little more discounted!

    • If you go tomorrow you will be 1 day late, VIP is tonight

  • can this be picked up?

    • +2

      OP says instore as well, so probably?

  • Cheers OP, just rang my local, they have the last one waiting for me.. will get in an hour or so to take advantage of the FD deal. ripper!

    • $55 at logan, sorry to the other folk that missed out. though I'm sure someone would've got the display and maybe $10 off to boot? picked up a bag of lump charcoal at the checkout along with a sprayjacket and pair of sunnies which I got 25% off, solid deal all round.

      any suggestions on where to from here? read a bit on the products website earlier, looks some good info.

  • Yep - definitely can pick up, if the store has stock!

  • +3

    Just picked two up at the Hoppers Crossing store, they had at least another 3 or 4 left, they are marked at $199, but scan up at $55.

  • +1

    What about propane and propane accessories?

  • Just realised, where can I pick up wood for this?

    • +2

      Use regular BBQ briquette fuel. For the wood smoker attachment you can buy hickory and other wood at any BBQ shop. Bunnings sells it too.

    • +3

      Buy charcoal, not from bunnings. Look around for a firewood seller, fuel merchant or even try Gumtree for someone selling it privately.

      • +2

        Why not from bunnings?

      • firewoood all the way…yummy

  • +1

    This looks very similar to the char grill BBQ I purchased from Bunnings earlier this year for $169, and that didn't have the side smoker attachment. For $55, assuming this hardware is decent, it's an absolute steal.

    • Bunnings can special order the side smoker if you want it… Though from memory it costs more than this entire deal.

      • Had a look at my local Anaconda shop in Noarlunga SA. $199 ticketed price. The thing is tiny, with the smoker almost disproportional in size to the BBQ. My $169 Char griller from Bunnings is probably 4 times the volume.

        • $199 ticketed price.

          was the same at mile end but the guy i asked said its always scans the same as the online price

          The thing is tiny, with the smoker almost disproportional in size to the BBQ.

          erm… huh? do you even understand how an offset smoker is used? i have been smoking in an electric smoker for a year or so now and dont think there is anything ive done in the electric that i couldnt do in the offset. sure i couldnt fit a whole 100kg pig in it….. but when do you ever actually cook a whole pig? not to mention that if its bigger you need to use/waste more charcoal if your only smoking something less than a full pig.

          this smoker is far from perfect, but for $55 its well worth the dosh. i cant see me having any issues smoking a whole leg of pulled pork in this thing

  • +1

    Does anyone know how big the package is? Driving a ford focus hatch back, would it fit?

    • +2

      yep, no probs, I got two in a Subaru Impreza sedan boot.

      • will this fit in my ferrari?

        • will this fit in my ferrari?

          your the one with the imagination, you decide

    • Thanks dude :)

      • i got one, 25kg of charcoal and a rottwheiler in the boot of my charade :)

        i did have to have the back seat down for the dog tho.

        • Is the rottweiler an ingredient or a passenger?

        • +1

          @tplen1: definitely only a passenger, certainly one of the family

  • Was told no further discount applies… There was only display model left at logan store. I have to disassemble myself….

  • Yep, the box is actually quite small, could easily fit it in the smallest of boots

  • Any in everton park?

    Cheers

    Great first post racerm911

    There are a few good YouTube videos on how to seal these things up, they leak like crazy out of the box.

    • links?

      • No.. I watched them 10 months ago… There were lots of mods etc.. First one people seemed to do was repaint it.

    all gone across brisbane

      Yep. Just called Everton Park.
      Sold out at all three local stores (Moronfield, Bogan and Everton Park)

  • Who cooked dinner tonight on the Char-Broil Grill Smoker BBQ? Wouldn't mind some feedback.

    • +1

      mines setup and just some pine burning in it at the moment to get rid of the china smell which is the same as i did with my electric smoker. probably fire it up 2morrow for dinner, pork or goat decisions decisions.

      • +1

        Goaork!

  • None available in WA either :(. Sold out

  • Just picked mine up from Innaloo WA. Were only 3 left and when I got there, the other 2 were on hold for some other people. Joondalup also had a few but not sure how many are left. None in Cannington. Also, discount does not apply to this.

    • Got 1 from Joondalup, there was still the display left and I would think the other was on hold or sold, I managed the discount on top $41.25

  • All sold out in NSW :(

  • was about 4 at mile end (SA) when i grabbed mine around 3pm'ish. display showed $199 but scanned up at $55.

    Just purchase this on ebay store on Sunday it works out cheaper….

    • which eBay store?

      • urgh ran out of negs…. the only offset smokers i could see on ebay started around $500….

        • +1

          I got ya

  • +5

    Just picked up two from Ashmore on the Gold Coast - They had 2 more left plus one on display….The bloke on the phone told me they were $55 and no further discount, but as I had my $110 in folding at the cash register, the lovely young lass discounted the Fathers Day 25% - Whooshka - 2 x BBQ's for $82.50.
    Keep an eye out for me next year at the [National BBQ championships in Port Macquarie] (http://www.bluesandbbq.com.au/bbq-championships-2/) - I'll be the bloke with the two smallest offset smokers, heaps of left over meat and a pile of cans next to my tent!

  • if anyone in SA has any trees they want trimmed up or cut down (all fruits/almond/redwood/olive etc etc) drop me a PM. :)

  • Great buy for $41.25 even though my Ing is showing a charge twice :( The display model had a. $199 price tag

  • Great Father's Day gift. Is this boxed (self assemble)? I need it to fit in the boot of a car.

    • comes in quite a small box, self assemble, tho im not sure there will be any left in any stores so if you havnt already id be calling ahead to check/hold stock

      • Thank u for info nosdan

    Hi Everyone,

    There is still stock available online, but hurry in as we are selling out fast! Our 25% off store wide sale continues today online and will be available in our VIC, TAS and ACT stores from 5pm - 9pm tonight! We hope that you grab a great Father's Day bargain.

    Thank you,

    The Anaconda Team

    • +1

      Yea you still have stock online but the shipping cost kills it. How about offering store pickup? Or will Any of your stores especially in WA be getting more stock at this price?

    • Shipping is more expensive that the product.

      One day you might get click and collect and we will all be happy.

    • +1

      Just got an email saying they stuffed up and sold out. They will issue a refund and give a $10 credit to say sorry.

      Bah! I guess you didn't have any stock available online after all…

      edit: you suck

  • Didn't jump on this offer but headed down to a local Anaconda here in WA since I never knew they had a shopfront. Bought myself a $30 sleeping bag for $25 for my trip down south later in the year and got a free multitool to boot. Not a bad at all.

  • these are back on sale again. ive had one for a while and are very good for the price (next best ive seen is around $100)

    Kogan Wireless BBQ Thermometer $35 Free Shipping!

    the one main thing it does that other cheap ones dont is it beeps at you when ever it looses wireless contact for a while (30 seconds or a minute or something) and when its out of contact with the transmitter it shows no temp at all. the other one similar to this bunnings one not only wont warn you when its out of range but it keeps its last temp on the screen so you have no idea its lost contact with the transmitter and you think it still needs more cooking and end up with overcooked meat. (yes, i bought one…. yes, i made that mistake)

    • What's the range like (esp. through walls)?

      • from where mine was last nite through 4 brick walls is maybe ~20m and working fine. friend has one the same (hes the one that put me onto them) and i think he got around 100m in open air with his. they are 433mhz so much better than computer wifi (2.4 and/or 5ghz) at getting through solid objects.

        but like i said above if it does get out of range it tells you at least

  • Picked up one in Frankstone store. Only one left on the shelf. Don't know if more stock available. Be quick, very nice BBQ, no brainer deal.

  • +1

    None left at Canberra Anaconda.

    I was being served at the counter and asked the lady for one but someone rang up on the phone at the same time and bought all of them.

    • all of them

      Roughly how many were we talking? If it was 2-3, I guess it is a matter of first-in-best-dressed. Any more and I would have been pretty disappointed.

  • I just ordered online, with postage.
    If you sign up you get a $10 voucher to use for the order!
    Brings the shipping down to something more reasonable

    • +1

      Shipping to my Metropolitan Perth postcode is upwards of $80. This absolutely kills it even with $10 off :(

      • farrrrrrrrrk mine went from 43$ to 33$ shipping with discount

        I guess they have their warehouse in Melb or Syd

  • Picked up the last one from Hopper's Crossing, was told Bayswater has 1 in stock. South Wharf store is out of stock.

    • Preston might have stock as well, springvale has one as floor stock only.
      Nearly bought it but being built it is fairly large and wont' fit in the car.
      So I went online instead

      • +1

        I bought the last one from Preston this morning at approx 11am. It was floor stock and I had to squeeze it into the Mazda 3 as we just had a car seat installed last week. Not a bad Father's Day present for myself, I must say.

  • Strange, I rang Preston at 10am and they said they were sold out. Grabbed the last one in Bayswater this evening though, although they check-out lady didn't give me the discount because it was already on sale? Not sure about that one…

    • Just grabbed one in Preston that somebody had returned, woot!

  • I went into the Joondalup store on 28/08/2014 and they ordered me one on a rain cheque. Later that day they called me and said they actually could not get any.

    Then today they called me again and said a bunch actually did arrive. Picked it up today new in the box. $55 all sweet.

    • I had them hold one for me and ill be picking it up on Saturday. Still $55. The young lady I spoke to said there were 2 in stock so I guess there might be one more.

  • Woot just picked up one from springvale vic. Salesperson says there's one more hidden out back.

    Time for some mods…any ideas where I can buy some high temp gaskets?

    Cheers

    • supercheap auto. use the red rtv gasket glue
