American Barbecue Systems All-Star Grill and Smoker is effectively two cookers in one. It has an offset firebox that runs along the back of the cookbox and three stainless steel grates that may be placed at low, middle and high positions for smoking. Or you can build a charcoal fire at the bottom of the cookbox and use one stainless grate above the heat for grilling. Smoking with three grates provides 1152 square inches of BBQ cook surface. Grilling on one grate gives you 288 square inches. Body and doors are 11 gauge metal and all cooking surfaces are stainless steel.
