The Good-One Open Range Gen III Smoker

Yes. The Open Range Gen III features a dedicated firebox that allows for direct grilling at higher temperatures, while the main smoke chamber is designed for consistent, low-temperature smoking.

No, this unit does not include an integrated thermometer. Because it relies on manual analog controls, you will need to use a third-party digital probe thermometer to accurately monitor your meat and ambient cooking temperatures.

Temperature is managed manually using the external air intakes and the internal damper. Adjusting these allows you to control the airflow and the intensity of the charcoal fire to maintain your desired heat level.

The smoker is built from powder-coated steel with a double-wall insulated design, which helps it retain heat efficiently in various weather conditions. However, as with any steel grill, using a cover is recommended to protect the finish from the elements over time.

The unit offers a total of 996 square inches of cooking space spread across two racks. This provides ample room for large cuts of meat, such as multiple briskets or several racks of ribs, simultaneously.

Cleaning is straightforward thanks to the removable ash pan and the grease management system. Simply empty the ash pan after the coals have cooled and clear the drip pan to keep the smoker in good working order.
