I just got this. Well actually the double play. And lighting it with the burner is genius.

Another way to get your chimney coal started without using paper or those fuel starters, put it over your side burner until it starts! I mean, it's built on to your grill ;-)

For anything Char grill you HAVE TO season thee entire grill during the initial burn off! They rust pretty easy if you don't. I seasoned mine and my buddy didn't his rusted out in a year and a half. Mines still going strong 3yrs! Use lard or bacon grease, it works better than cooking oil to season. Also if you plan on smoking with the char grill you need to get a gasket around the edges, it helps retain the heat and smoke flavor. The bbq dragon fan is meant to pair with the dragon chimney... The kit is close to 50bux, I just bought a small clip fan with 2 speeds and use that at the intake tube it has and saved myself like 30bux lol the fan shipped was only 13bux.... The fan is not meant to stoke ashed coals, but to make the starting process go faster. And it does! Especially if you are a mesquite fan boy you will love the dragon chimney! I should know I only use mesquite lol. Good grillin guys! Much love! Oh and season the grates in the oven not on the grill

The reason your ribs burned on the bottom was because you ran a lil too hot. You were suffocating the air flow. Need to open your top vent about half way or more

How long did you smoke the ribs? and did you have to add more charcoal while cooking?

Husband bought this magnificent grill for me. He and I had to open the box and remove rhe pieces one by one from our truck bed and struggled to get the barrel base and lid to the ground. A lot to put together, took use almost 2 hours from opening the box to all ready to go. We may never good inside again! Easy to use, built like a locomotive and easy to use! I want the mitt, chimney charcoal starter and cleaver next. Shopping for a good rack of ribs now? Jack Snow, you are great!

I have this same grill (little different/older model) I just dont have the smoker part. I love this grill Ive had it for at least 3 or 4 years. I bought the grill cover and just replaced it this year. My BBQ pit still looks new

I have this grill and love it. Also the chimney fits perfectly over the side burner. I light my chimney that way.

I just picked up the char griller texas trio. I seasoned the grill the other day and found a lot of difficulty controlling the heat of the propane side. Even with 1 burner on low the thermostat was showing 430+. Haven't had a chance to experiment with the charcoal/smoker side yet, but I was wondering if you had any tips to control high heat especially on the propane side. Thanks.

Have the same grill and love it but why didn’t you season the whole grill before you started grilling all that food? Says it in the manual as well.

Also, how long did it take you to put it together?

I love it! Just got mine for Father's day wasn't supposed to know but it came early and I was home lol. Waiting on my back yard to be done and I will be putting it together.

I really appreciate this video. I have this grill (bought from the seller when I purchased a property) and I was looking for instructions 😊. I definitely needed this. Thank you for the detailed video.

This was an awesome review! Going to buy this grill right now. Thank you!

Love my 50/50. I don't have the smoker box, but I also don't need it. I just off set the heat of the coals/wood chunks with a water pan. What a fantastic unit.

You can also use the burner on the side to light your charcoals

Awesome... Simply awesome!!! Thanks for helping me make my mind up on whether to purchase this grill or not. Cheers!

What size is your smoker and did you get it at home Depot

hey man, love your videos , i wanted to buy the grill but the link you provided is not working and i couldn't find it on amazon. could you please tell me where to buy it online as i'm not living in USA? many thanx

Great video Jack! I was eyeing up that grill the other day, looks like you put it to good use! I've never used a pellet smoker, I use wood chunks with charcoal on my offset smoker and my UDS and have always loved the results. I get a more intense wood smoke flavor from my offset and a milder smoke flavor with my UDS. Anyway, everything looked great man - thanks for sharing!

How long did you smoke the ribs? My trio is still in the box, i think its time to bust it out.

I wonder if he figured out to use the side burner to start the chimney going.

Jack, HD delivers it assembled or do you have to pick it up?

Looks awesome. One question-how do you clean your cutting boards?

Can you use with natural gas?

Been there done that - it takes awhile to figure this grill out when putting it together. I cant believe you put the fire starter on your grate, but at least you removed the grate when you did the offset fire. One word of wisdom on this grill - if you leave it out uncovered in the rain make sure you empty the drain pain under the side burner, it always fills with water when it rains (and leaves in the fall, etc.)

Great video Jack! I started off smoking with wood chips/chunks and recently tried pellets. You are 100% correct, chips and chunks taste better!

If I had those massive pork chops I would sous vide them to correct internal temp and then sear them. It is going to be hard to cook them through without drying them, isn't it?

I have the Lowe’s equivalent and I 100% agree with you. I smoked a pork shoulder with wood chunks and it was unlike anything I’ve ever made before

I love this grill! My daughter bought it for me as a Christmas gift. I’m so nervous about when I move, it’s soooo heavy

I just bought one of these it was a beast to put together my mouth is watering

Oh my goodness that looks delicious... I might need to get that char-griller

I've had a Oklahoma Joes Longhorn Sidebox Smoker. Done all the mods to it and it'll hold even temps all day. Always used wood chunks with it and all my BBQ comes out amazing. Glad to see your branching out Jack!

Quick question: Did you do another video that has your review about the grill? The whole grill like the performance of the Controls using the Propane side, side cooking box; a review on accessing the lower rack storage and its convenience, the mobility of the wheels, the stability of the base stand

I got lucky and bought mine today and it was floor model so it was already put together

My set up is like yours but older...its the only thing I smoke on..i also intermix woods my favorite to smoke with is Apple & cherry wood..fantastic flavor for everything. Also soak some of your wood for a slower burn...

I thought something was wrong with my grill cause I didn’t see any gas on flames when I lit it up on the propane side just felt the heat!!!

I just got rid of my grill that I had for 10 years because it finally bit the dust. The only difference was that mine didn't have the smoker box. I plan on getting one just like you have but it seems smaller than mine.

I am far from an expert griller. In fact I'd say I'm on the beginner moving to intermediate, but I love your review of this grill. I have been looking for a grill for a couple of months now that I've moved to a new house with a garage to store my grill in. I really like the idea of have all 3 types in one since I don't do a lot of grilling. How long do smoke your ribs in this?

I have the same pet try putting your charcoal chimney on your burner to start it

Very cool Jack! Have a great long weekend and stay cool!

Good looking ribs! I just got a char-griller a week ago and am loving it.

We bought this grill 8 years ago and 2 years ago I threw it away because we wore the heck out of it and we bought a different bbq grill and it wasn’t the same. So this past weekend on Memorial Day guess what we bought again! This grill is awesome and whatever meat you grill on it will come out fantastic and when my new grill wears out again I’m going to buy another one!

Ok so when are you going to start the review of the product?

Gas side on this grill burns HOT, really pleased with that. Does anybody else feel unconfortable moving it around by the handle on the fire box? It just feels like the fire box is taking a hell of a load when i lift it. Any opinions?

@lesthomasson7220

It definitely needs a brace underneath the fire box. But that’s the only place to put a tow handle since it has the side burner on other side. An idea, maybe, go to tractor supply. Buy 4 new wheels that swivel and lock and mount them on the legs. Then you could just push it around where you need it and lock it in place. Just brainstorming here.

I have only smoked meat with wood chunks on my UDS and on my grills. I have never used a pellet smoker. However, I believe when you say it tastes better with wood.

Love your reviews and especially your BBQ Wars tours! I hardly use propane anymore, always using my Weber kettle with hardwood lump charcoal and of course...wood chunks!!! Hickory, Mesquite, Apple, Pecan....the flavour blows away meat cooked on a pellet grill. Anyway, keep up the great videos Jack!

Edit: awesome video btw!! I've had mine since 2008, added ceramic briquettes to gas side for more even heat.

Nice Video, I always use wood chunks along with charcoal to smoke my ribs, however I soak them in water before putting them in the charcoal. I don't know if that is the right way to do it, but it's how my Mother did it so good enough for me.

Jack if you do use newspaper for the chimeny put a little oil on it and crumble it all up and it works well even if it's windy out.

Jack awesome video! The ribs looked outstanding my mouth was watering!

I just bought one, took me a little over 4 hours , I haven't used it yet, looking forward to breaking it In this weekend

Put your chimney on the side burner. Catches real good.

It’s really hard to beat the flavor of charcoal and smoke wood for ribs. I agree they are better that way than on pellet smokers. No doubt. Cheers and blessings, Jack!

NOOOO, season it before first use. And your charcoal chimney will sit over side burner and light even faster.

Is it just me or is the 5750 I got bigger? Just ordered the side box and cover. I love it. And really was not hard to put together. I had no help so it took about an hour and 10 minutes alone. I never owned a gas grill but I'm in 😍. Not as much as smoking or charcoal though. And as you stated it is heavy so if you have two people it's best for loading and unloading. As far as assembly it can be done alone but recommend 2 ppl.

Everything looks so yummy 😋 Nice job!

Probably no need for exhaust vent on the smoking section given the amount it leaks air under the lid.

Where did you get your starter for your chimney? The one that looked like a ball? What is it called? Thank you

Great video I wish I had room for a cooker like that I have a small gas grill but I do pretty good on it cuz I live in apartments

I just did a beef brisket yesterday with wood chunks that's the only way to smoke meats

WOW!!!! I guess this says it all about this grill!!

Yes the wood chunks will always beat out the pellet smoker. Now the Pellet smoker does allow for precise temp control where as a chunk wood smoker takes a lot of practice to zone in and get the temp right. And it is way easier to over smoke the meat using wood chunks. So you trade off easy of use and temp control for less smoke in the pellet smoker. You should try one of the Komado smokers or an Orion smoker, both are real good for getting that smoky taste! (Yes I have a lot of grills cause I got a sickness...just can't help it some people collect cars.. I collect grills) (yup weird I know)

Hi jack great video as always, I’ve got a smoker and I use wood chunks and the smoke flavour is amazing, and I work in a smokehouse which is one of the best in Wales, and they use pellet smokers and I much prefer the flavour of wood chunks

I bought this yesterday and returned it. Propane side got too hot. Put it on the lowest setting, opened door, turned off middle burner, ugh too much work. Also the actual cooking area is small compared to my old dual version. I also didn't like the two grills connected and just divided with a metal wall.

I’m gonna smoke a brisket on the Texas Trio tomorrow for the first time. This video gives me hope. Lol

thank you so much for the video ❤

some reviewers complained of too small cooking space, and blistered paint and warped lids, and rusting, keep us up to date on these problems as you or if you encounter them.

The ONLY differences between the two are price (OKJ"s is usually about $100 more than the TT) and assembly orientation - they are like mirror images of each other. Today, 7/25/2020, OKJ's is $499 at Lowes and TT is $399 at Home Depot.

I like how it's looks but I'll never grill like that on my propane.. I'll used a flattop just to be safe .. like I said that's so nice combo set up you got but for me I don't trust the grease hitting that fire when running propane

300 seems a tad high for smoking ribs. Looks like there’s a lot of smoke leak- there is on my 5050. Seems like a CharGriller thing. Seal it with some heat rope, and try your hand on some lump charcoal!

Ohhhhh yeah. An offset smoker will always give a better wood flavor than a pellet although both are great. Offsets are just the granddaddy. I was a tad concerned with so much smoke escaping but you held the temp and that was dope.

I used bbq tape to seal the leaks. Also extended the chimney to grill level to help the smoke build up. And lowered the thermometers to food level. Cost about $100 bucks and an afternoon. Can control the charcoal/smoking side now with just the cap on top of the chimney. Awesome.

2 things to try. Us wing a bonding knife to cut your ribs and soaking your wood chunks in water for about 24 hours before dropping them on the coals.

Wow Jack this looks great- is your bbq sauce sweet or spicy ?

I've had mine for 3 years and trying figure out how to do rotisserie on it. I love my beast.
