Why should you buy an SRG?
« Reply #-1 on: April 11, 2018, 09:04:57 AM »
Question ask:    If I were standing inside Lowe's or Home Depot, and you were an employee on the sales floor, how would you sell me on the SRG (what makes it stand out)?

As an oilless fryer:

The SRG is the Big brother to the Big Easy (TBE)  and  the Ele-Big Easy (BEESR)  so size for one is a BIG plus you can cook a 25 lb turkey vs a 16 lb for the smaller units. Fries turkeys like an oil frier without the mess and danger. You can inject meat with anything you want without fear of HOT oil spatter when you place it in the chamber.. Spuds turn out wonderful and meats will not dry out in infrared like they will on a grill

As a smoker:

The SRG also works as a smoker (somewhat) where you can cook with smoke added flavor easily with it's built in smoker box. It's cooks pulled pork with the best cookers out there (I should know I have over 135 + cooked in them)

As a grill:

The SRG also works as an infrared grill with temps well above 550 for searing meat like a 1000K grill! Plus with the built in smoker box you can add smoke to all your grilled food.


All in all the SRG is the best (IMHO) grill for the money.  What else can grill at 550 + temp, smoke foods (added smoke flavor) deep fry meat like nothing else
for a price of 199.00 or less?  As for fuel, they use propane and a tank last many hrs of cooking

They last for a long time as well mine are 9 and 8 years old and keep asking for more.  Very little clean up as well


I could go on but Charbroil has discontinued them for some reason (why I can't get an answer nor do they say there is a replacment so get them while you can!!!)

Thanks for answering! And dang, you’ve peaked my interest. Even if used only as an oil-less fryer. This might sound stupid, but are the turkeys that come out of your SRG good enough to make the $199 price of admission worth it if that was the only thing you used it for a few times/year?

YES, buit it does soooooo much more. Just spend some time in the SRG section from the past post you will see everone uses it for lots of cooks!  Now it's not a true smoker but it does well with ribs, butts and other meats!  If you decide to get one (I suggest you do)  I'd love to help you along with the res of the forum will jump in.  This is by far the best SRG cooking forum on the web!!!

Why is it your go-to for poultry?  What makes it stand out from the rest? Are you talking whole chickens only, or parts as well (wings, thighs, breasts)?  Inquiring minds wanna know :)

Your yardbird or turkey turns out like it's been fried in oil.  The skin is crispy and the meat is juicy!!

Your spuds trun out with crispy skin yet the inside is soft and perfect texture.  INFRARED really does a great job, you can even bake in it if you have a cast iron pot!

because whether it is a whole turkey ( I have done up to 22 lbs), whole chicken, or parts of them, they always come out very juicy, never dry. Sometimes they are so juicy I have to double check the temp as it looks like they are not done. But the juices are clear and the temp is where it should be.
