Does the smoke stack come off to make it easier to cover?

no but they sell a cover that has a molded part to fit over the stack.. it's good quality now that they've updated the material.. waterproof as well.. they sell it here or at the char griller site.

Chargriller brand cover # 2323 is customized to fit this model. It has a built-in sleeve for the smoke stack. Update: I called the manufacturer and they told me all their grill covers have a sleeve for the smoke stack. They can direct you to a retailer. They were very helpful with my other questions as well. To contact them, go to www.chargriller.com (chargriller with an "er" at the end. And NOT "charbroil.com".)

Same with mine, unless it is a sunny day. I've used towels over the top where there are gaps between the smoker and lid. That helps some, also.

I do just fine with no window. The window probably gets moist or foggy with the smoke anyways. As long as the the temp is good.

I've personally never had a problem with too much smoke. The few times that the grill started to smoke, it dissipated quickly.

In my experience no. The window hazes over quickly anyway from the smoke. I cook with a remote probe thermometer so seeing the meat is really no benefit anyway.

We haven't noticed any smoke, per se. The heat has to dissipate, so it will put off a fragrant steam. My wife is allergic to smoke and I haven't heard her complain.

I'm not sure... I ended up getting a paste food grade gasket between the smoker and firebox. I used this to seal the cover of the firebox.

The smoke is not channaled out in any specific direction. Smoke escapes from the top as well as the sides.

This smoker gets about as hot as a crockpot running on high setting. You only set it to 200 or 225 to smoke something. Putting it on top of a piece of plywood works well for me, but something less flammable is better of course. Since you are generating smoke for a few hours, your biggest issue might be the wind patterns and your neighbors.

I don't think it makes any difference if they are points up or down. I assume the point design makes and food or juices drip down the sides instead of collecting on top, therefore reducing smoke.

I have mine covered up with the grills my car came with and it doesn't interfere but they sell the same model with covers to

If you foil the rack the smoke doesn't surrounded the food as well and the temperature above the foiled rack may be affected. The drippings from that rack may also make a mess for you.

Hi Lindsey, I keep my smoker in a storage shed. It eliminates the wind, and your temp will remain constant. Also remember, the air flow limiter on the top should not be kept wide open. This will cause a a large airflow and your internal temp will be affected. Experience will drive how much air flow you allow, and what level of smoke you will get. Good luck. Love my Bradley

I think it might block the bulk of it, but over time I think the smoke would get through.

No, it comes off very clean. Usually there is a dust/grime ring around the perimeter where the cover edges were, but nothing is left behind by the ArmorSuit

If you are roasting it correctly you would have no smoke. But using an exhaust fan above your stove is a wise move. I have never had any smoke come out of my machine. But the heat from it does have my smoke detector go off.

From my experience, it comes off without any trace. However, it will take awhile to take down.
