The Big Easy—it’s not just a grill; it’s a flavor symphony waiting to happen!
Picture this: a sun-kissed afternoon, a backyard filled with laughter, and the tantalizing aroma of sizzling meats. That’s the magic of the Char-Broil® The Big Easy TRU-Infrared 3-in-1 Propane Gas Smoker, Roaster & Grill. It’s like having a culinary Swiss Army knife in your backyard!
Versatility Unleashed: This grill isn’t content with just one trick. Oh no! It’s a triple threat: a smoker, a roaster, and a grill—all rolled into one sleek stainless steel package. Imagine the possibilities: slow-roasted ribs, succulent smoked chicken, and perfectly seared steaks. Your taste buds are already doing a happy dance!
Infrared Wizardry: The secret sauce? TRU-Infrared™ technology. It’s like having a wizard cast a spell on your food. No flare-ups, just consistent, juicy results. And that 180 sq. in. infrared grill grate? It’s the golden ticket to grill marks that’ll make your neighbors green with envy.
Turkey Tales: Hosting Thanksgiving? Fear not! The Big Easy accommodates up to a 21 lb turkey in its smoking and roasting basket. No oil needed—just pure, unadulterated flavor. Your guests will be singing your praises (and asking for seconds).
Easy Peasy Cleanup: After the feast, the removable greasy tray makes cleanup a breeze. No one wants to spend hours scrubbing grates when there’s pie waiting to be devoured!
Note: The Big Easy requires a propane tank (not included), but the memories it creates? Absolutely priceless.

I’ve mostly been using the roaster but the food is turning out fantastic. Shame there isn’t any hooks or other accessories that are specifically designed for the SRG. The grill works but I believe you’d probably be better off with a BBQ designed specifically for grilling and of course the “smoker” isn’t all that great. It is a very small compartment and the smoke won’t last very long. Real smoking takes hours with a relatively expensive smoker if that’s what you’re looking for.
Although you could try wrapping the woodchips in aluminum foil and poking a small hole at the top and putting it at the bottom of the barrel, I’ve done that with charcoal bbqs before but I’m not sure if it’s okay to do that with the SRG.
Assembly on the other hand was such a pain in the !@#. I believe that there might of been some manufacturing defects or warping with my roaster because getting the holes to align for the parts that the SRG dials attach to was very difficult. The rails for the drip tray was also put in wrong and I had to adjust and fix it, fortunately that wasn’t too difficult.

This cooker is absolutely amazing! We had a friend buy it too, because of our high recommendations. It came quickly too!

This is an awesome barbecue. We cook chickens and roasts in it at the lake. It sure adds variety to our camping menu. I also love that there are no flare ups.

Just love it, sorry I never bought it sooner.

I’ve had this for 2 years now and we use it nearly every week, and we love it! I bought this as we were hosting 26 for Thanksgiving and in previous years had deep fried the turkey, but we were now in a place where that was too much of a fire risk. I was not disappointed: the Big Easy totally delivered! I brined the turkey and then applied a rub to the skin — something you can’t do when deep frying — placed it in the basket and inserted an electronic thermometer probe to keep track of temperature.
The trick to getting a moist turkey is to cook the bird as quickly as possible, so that you retain as much liquid inside the bird as possible. That’s why deep frying works so well. With the Big Easy, I put the turkey in the basket as high up as I could and turned the burner up to full blast to get the most heat. And then you just leave it until it’s done according to the thermometer — about 9 minutes per pound, in the end. The result was a beautifully cooked turkey with crispy, flavorful skin and juicy, moist meat that was a huge hit with our guests.
Since then I have roasted all kinds of meats in the Big Easy as it’s so easy to do. It’s much faster than roasting in a regular oven, but the best thing to do is forget about timing — just use a meat thermometer and remove the meat when it’s done. We got a wireless meat thermometer so we can sit inside during winter and just go out when it’s ready. The Big Easy also frees up the oven for breads, side dishes and the like, which was incredibly helpful at Thanksgiving.
Using wood chips for smoked ribs was a little trickier, because the smoker box is incredibly difficult to remove when the grill is hot — the metal expands and it’s wedge shaped, so it gets stuck. The fix? Load up the smoker box with wood before you turn on the heat! This is not a “low and slow” smoker; it will cook and smoke meats at the same time at typical roasting temperatures. That’s good for imparting smoky flavor as the meat roasts.
On chickens, turkeys and ducks the placement (height) inside of the basket matters. At the top of the grill, the skin of the bird will turn dark brown but it will not burn. If you want a lighter color, move the bird down towards the bottom of the basket, or turn down the temperature. I have tried grilling on it, but it just doesn’t get hot enough to do a good job so I do steaks and burgers on the regular grill.
This has been one of the best cooking purchases we’ve ever made. We use it so often that we feel like we get great value from it, and great results. When guests come over I can just drop in the meat and then not have to look at it again until the thermometer says it’s done.

I was asked this Thanksgiving if I wanted to deep fry a turkey. Well, of course I said yes! So I went to a local store and was going to buy a deep fryer and a ton of oil, and set it up. When I got there, I saw the deep fryer, and a smaller version of this Char-Broil unit on display. For the cost of the deep fryer and oil, I could buy the smaller unit. Now, I knew it wasn’t a deep fryer, but I was intrigued by the “infrared grill”. So instead of buying either, I went home to do some research. I talked to a friend of mine, and we thought the Char-Broil infrared grill sounded good, but wouldn’t it be better if we could add smoke to it? And that’s what led me to find this unit, the Char-Broil Big Easy Infrared Smoker, Roaster and Grill.
Now, obviously this unit does not deep fry. It’s a roaster, smoker and grill. So if you have your heart set on deep frying something large, you should go and do that. Myself, I was concerned. One, because the oil needed was going to cost about $20/use, and then I have to dispose of all that oil somewhere. What a waste! Second, any splash-over could result in a major fire. I was hoping to cook the turkey on the deck, but thought that was probably a bad idea, so I’d have to go and do it on the back lawn. Depending on the weather, that might not be a lot of fun.
I bought the Big Easy, assembled it in less than an hour (directions were easy and straightforward, and it went together fine). I seasoned it. And then I tried a 7.5 lb chicken in it, just to get a sense of what it could do. Wow!! We figured it would take 10-15 minutes per pound to cook. So I put it in and checked it an hour later. The chicken was done – actually past-done – as the coldest part of the chicken was already 173 degrees. It took only 7-8 minutes per pound. Darn! But wait, it looked great!! And I used some mesquite wood chips in the smoker, and you could smell it! The result: this chicken was the moistest, tastiest, most wonderful chicken I have had in a very long time!! It was awesome!! Subtle, but not overpowering smoke. Flavorful throughout. Skin was crispy and wonderful. Even over-done, it was great!
Round two: 20 lb turkey. We put it in, and planned 2.5 hours for it to be done. It was almost done (temp 155 degrees) after an hour. I turned it down to low, and put some more wood chips in, and let it cook for another hour. It was done by hour 2, and pretty much perfect throughout. We pulled it, let it rest, and again – amazing results!! Best thanksgiving turkey we’ve ever had. Moist, juicy, a nice smokey flavor without being really powerful. We also took the pan drippings and made a wonderful gravy. Easy. Delicious.
The unit is pretty solid. It is simple to use. And the results are great. I can’t wait to do some ribs, a ham, a roast, and even corn, in the Big Easy. If the results are anything like our two poultry items, I am so glad I went in this direction.
Again, if you want to deep fry, go ahead. Deal with the oil (cost, disposal) and the occasional call to the fire department. If you want to cook food easily and deliciously, this is a great way to do it.
