The Po' Man is the Real Deal!
by Ashley Hubble Hughes (5 out of 5 stars)
July 25, 2016

I received this a week or two ago and finally used it on Saturday to cook a Boston Butt (I used "Oklahoma Joe's Pulled Pork recipe") and it turned out great. Everything was in the box that it came in was listed in the description. Now I'm a rookie by all accounts when it comes to smoking (I've exclusively used a gas grill for the past several years) and the Po' Man was very easy to use and get started. I filled the charcoal box like the instructions indicated and also added several wood chunks of Oak Wood (Purchased at Academy Sports and Outdoors and also can be found on Amazon). After 4 hours the internal temperature of the meat wasn't quite high enough and most of the charcoals had burned out so I refilled the box. After 90 minutes I checked the meat again and it didn't seem quite done so I added a couple more charcoal briquettes and a couple of wood chunks again and cooked for 30 more minutes. Look at the pictures for the result and you'll see why my wife and 2 year old loved the meat so much and kept asking for more (this is her husband writing the review).

After my first use of the Po' Man I learned for heavier meats in the future (like Boston Butt or Turkey for instance) that I should overflow the charcoal box more and probably use less wood chunks so that the Po' Man doesn't get too hot too fast. I'd highly recommend this product and can't wait to use it again soon!

5/5 Conversation Starter Smoker
by de Melo (5 out of 5 stars)

I was looking into getting a smoker for a few years now and have been subscribed to all the reddit subs for bbqing for a long while. My friends have the big green egg and as cool as those seem, it didn't sit right with me forking over so much money for something in my mind isn't worth sinking south of $1000 on.

Then here comes the Po' Man grill flashing before me. Looks awesome on the screen, even better in person, well built, and pretty much damage proof. It's a modified trashcan. With Racks. Simple.

Why complicate the process of smoking? Fire. Smoke. Meat.

Po'Man just lets you smoke and focus on that. I'd recommend this to everyone.

Quality Materials Used
by Trend (5 out of 5 stars)

My expectations were exceeded. The quality and construction of this grill are excellent. It's heavy duty. The charcoal pan is solid and heavy duty. The handle on the lid is excellent quality. The meat skewers are strong. The grate is heavy duty. It will support large pieces of meat. One note;.....the grate needs to be placed into the stand, before putting it in the can. The grate locks into the stand. You won't be get the grate in....if putting the stand into the can first.

The can is 23" tall, without the lid. The width is 18" The design is genius and so simple. The can is designed so that the skewers lock into place once the meat is hung. There are handles on each side of the can. They are soldered on. One problem I have had with all my grills is the screws becoming loose. The only screws in this grill is the handle on the lid. The only assembly required is putting the handle on the lid. There is a metal placket on the outside of the can with the brand name on it.

It comes packaged very securely. I didn't like cutting away all the plastic tabs. but the grill is packaged so that it will be hard to sustain damage in shipping. Take care with cutting the tabs off. The delivery was good. I received in 3 days after placing my order.
This cooks up beautiful looking, evenly cooked ribs/chicken/meat to perfection. A thermometer is not really needed. They include cooking times for several cuts of meat and poultry.....and they are spot on. The manufacturer's suggested cooking times are based on the kind of meat/poultry being cooked....and the weight. A thermometer is definitely not needed to monitor the grill temp. Just close the lid as suggested.
Another thing that impressed me....I cooked a roast on the grate. It cooked "evenly" browned on both sides without needing to be turned. No charcoal ash gets on the meat......none.
My ribs were really tender as soon as I took them out of the grill. I did wrap some of them in foil and put them in a cooler without ice. Po Man says this make the meat more tender. Mine were very tender already, but putting them in the cooler really keeps them "ready to eat" hot and succulent. I used to put mine in a low temp oven....where they proceeded to dry out somewhat, and lose BBQ flavor.

I used Kingsford's regular charcoal...no wood, no chips. This Po Man cooks up real BBQ . Even the fat taste good. I haven't been able to get this kind of BBQ flavor with my regular Weber, Smokey Mountain, or the Brinkman's. This is true BBQ flavor. The ribs didn't need sauce to make them taste delicious. The meat itself had outstanding BBQ flavor. This taste like the BBQ my father used to make..... with no smoker, no wood, no thermometer, but he had to tend it like a baby. I thank these people for developing this grill. I love this grill.

Lastly, it lights so easily...first time. I used to use a charcoal chimney. When pouring the coals in the smoker/grill, the ash would leave a fine coat on the sides of my grill. That doesn't happen with the Po Man way of lighting the charcoal. Not even a little bit ash gets on the meat. All of it stays contained in the charcoal box and the bottom of the grill.

The manufacturer included detailed instructions for set up, cooking times, and how to light the charcoal. Thanks again, Po' Man.

The best BBQ grill available at any price!
by Ken (5 out of 5 stars)

I love BBQ. But I hate bbqing. Why? Mainly because the results are so inconsistent. This griller/smoker was made for me. If you follow the simple instructions, there is no way you can mess this up. Everything always turns out fabulous and it makes you feel like you are some kind of master pit boss! I am not exaggerating. I have cooked every BBQ -type meat you can think of and my family and friends rave about the results. My expensive gas grill is literally rusting away in the backyard because I never use it anymore. Rarely does one find a product that is so much more inexpensive that does a much more superior job than the traditional type. Of anything! I can't give this grill a high enough rating. And you will never know just what I am so enthused about 'til you get one yourself!

It works and is a tremendous value! 'Truly the equivalent of a slow-cooker style BBQ/smoker. Follow the simple directions to set it up, and let the Po' Man do its thing. We cooked two chickens and two slabs of ribs on the first go, and they turned out fabulous.

LET'S GET GRILLING!
by Nora Hendry (5 out of 5 stars)

This thing is the best for people who like things that are easy to use, serve more than one purpose, and like to travel. My friend and I use it here at my home or pack it up and take it to his place to cook outside. NC is a hot and humid area so cooking inside is avoided at all costs. Tonight I am cooking steaks, corn on the cob, and potatoes. I will start the grill place the corn and the potatoes on the rack at about the 2nd shelf down and cook them for about 20 min. until they are done. Then I will pick them up with my awesome grill gloves, move the rack up a notch and cook the steaks. let it cool overnight clean it in the morning and pack it up ready to go to my friends house in the country.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY TRASH CAN GRILL!!!

I love this thing! The first thing I did with it is smoke two chickens. It only took two hours too. I just put the wood chips in and let it go. The included recipes and the cooking directions are very helpful too.

I used this product to smoke a 4 lb pork butt. it worked perfect. I did load the coal box with plenty of cole in order to last long enough and it held steady temp with the lid slightly open.

Best charcoal grill for the price.

Save your money on buying a Traeger or similar grill. That's for the incompetent grill master. This Po Man grill is the best grill I've owned. They even provide a nice chart for cooking recommendations depending on what your smoking/grilling. Best part, its a freaking trash can! My buddies think its awesome and a few have purchased one.
