How does one do that? Choke off the air?

Not out of work for another hour, hope my local Aldi has some.

This is a smoking deal... Literally!

Thanks for posting

Best steaks ever! I get mine to 700-800 degrees - just like the steakhouses do it.

Damn none in my town

I got an Akorn grill last spring. I was hesitant to take the 1k+ dive into an egg. I'm gonna have to fire mine up this weekend some Vid guy started talking about bbq on the Wal-Mart hobbit sized video machine. So time to get this springs pig ribs out of the freezer. Sounds like a good labor day.
If you never used a kamado grill here is your chance to get in without spending enough money for an other S S pinball machine. I'm gonna check the Sevierville Aldi on lunch break, the wife will check Morristown Aldi for stock on these.
Also got to pick up another Aldi product to cook the ribs with. They got this stuff called Imperium. A surprisingly good beer.

If this is a pizza thread. Roccbox is what you want. Big Green egg is does just about everything else.

Char Broil products are junk. They barely last five years. Perfect Aldi's or Big Lots/Odd Lots merchandise.

Considering that is 4x the cost of this I would hope so.

It is.

At least you don't have to worry about anyone stealing it.

I’d be all over this if there was an Aldi near me.

I've got a Kamado grill I got 6 years ago and love it. The best for set it and forget it long cooks.

Sadly my Aldi doesn't have the same deal.
I have a Char Broil grill and it's held up well. My brother in law has had one forever. Still in good shape for a grill that's outside.

Just got back from my Aldi.
No luck here
Seems like a great deal.

Ditto.

I did load up on beef jerky, some of the awesome chicken salad, some frozen shrimp, some fruit juice, organic agave nectar for my daily iced tea and a few other items. Aldi definitely has great food at a great price. Once you get over the initial shock that its not like the other supermarkets, Aldi is awesome.

You fucking cheapskates.....go BIG or go home!

You think pins are expensive.....

Or heavy.....the biggest one weighs 3/4 OF A TON.

Imagine having to MOVE that thing.

This is a good deal. I’m usually the kind of guy that believes you should buy a good quality product first time around, but sometimes it just makes sense to get something cheap.

I’ve had my Char-Broil smoker for at least 10+ years now. We also probably bought it at Aldi or Walmart for $100, and it looks like a rusty black poorly built trash can turned on it’s side, But it smokes a mean brisket, and tasty ribs. All that money I saved from not something high end, I put right into piles upon piles perfectly smoked meat.

Thanks for the heads up on the deal, Mr. Vid! I may have to check this one out.

Look what happened to his hair when he opened the lid? That thing's nuts.

is this what would have become of bob ross had he not been a good painter?

I had been looking at a grill/pizza oven combo but may stop at our Aldi's to see what is in stock. This could be a quick and easy alternative.

First the 4K video camera now a grill, thanks for the tips Vid! Who needs to wait for the sale flyer in the mail when all the good stuff is posted to Pinside!

I just called the phone number listed for my local Aldi....I got a National recorded message saying “Aldi does not publish location phone numbers due to their streamlined staffing model to keep prices low”..... interesting. I guess I gotta drive over there now

I hope this isn’t just some Black Friday marketing scheme...like wal mart ads saying “$50 60 inch 4K TV” and only 2 stocked per store, just to drive shoppers in the door

Just went to my local Aldi...said they sold out of those over a month ago. Ugh!

A big problem with some of the cheaper models is the thin metal used, which insulates little, and you burn through much more fuel than more expensive models that used thicker metal or ceramics. My first smoker was a cheap 70 buck vertical and the metal was super thin. It did the job well, but it burned more wood and or lump coal in one smoke than my Kamado or new Dyna Glow vertical does in 3 smokes. So yeah, unit may cost less, but you spend more in fuel.

I thought that was you in the pic Vid.

We have a cash n carry near us that sells 40lb bags of lump charcoal for 14 bucks. In my experience the lump charcoal last much longer than briquettes ever do. 40lbs will also last you a VERY long time

It's a wholesale food place, public welcome.
Oops, it's now called smart food service:

been to a couple and a buddy has as well. prices are different per store. have seen them from 125-180 so far. going to head to the ghetto of Detroit to see if we can find the one for 99

Insane

Used to watch him all the time. 3 different shows.

Never had a BGE but I got the knock off for Christmas. I think it works well for the price. I dont think it will last as long but they are cheap. I also think it has more room because it doesn’t have all the ceramics inside. 99 is definitely worth the money. I would buy another one for that

lol very true. but have to do down that way for work tomorrow so will still check it out.

No luck here in North Central Ohio -- at least in my area.
The lady that works there and brings her dogs to my vet clinic came running over to ask pet related questions (one of the reasons I avoid going out in public) so I took the liberty of asking about the grills. She said if they were there they likely sold out last week. Maybe there is some sort of time zone difference between here and you Vid. . . or more people are gung ho for their grills here in 'Murica.
