Sounds like the Chargriller. You will need the side firebox for another $49. It's a nice unit.

A lot of those around here. I've got one and like it a lot. The cast iron grates are a nice plus in a consumer model cooker. You'll want to modify the charcoal grate to allow better air flow but it's an easy fix. It gets a little chilly here in the winter so I don't even use the firebox, just cook offset in the smoke chamber. Someone, I think Bigmista, uses his without the firebox because of space limitations on his balcony and he likes it just fine. Look up some of his pics and you'll have to agree.

Do you have Menard's in Kentucky? (I could look at their web site, but I'm too lazy!). My local Menard's has the Chargriller Pro for $89 and the firebox for $49.

If you end up buyingone let me know. I have a doc from a guy on the BBQ Forum that shows some mods (I was thinking about buying one but haven't yet).
