Know before you buy
The Apollo 300 is a 3-in-1 unit designed to function as a standard charcoal grill, a water smoker, or a roaster. You can easily remove the middle smoking chambers to convert it into a compact charcoal grill for direct heat cooking.
Temperature control is handled through the top and bottom sliding vents, which allow you to regulate airflow to your charcoal. You can monitor your progress using the built-in ACCU-PROBE thermometer on the lid without needing to lift the cover.
The water pan acts as a heat sink to stabilize the internal temperature and adds moisture to the cooking chamber. This prevents your meat from drying out during long, low-and-slow smoking sessions.
Not at all. The unit features convenient access doors on the side, allowing you to reach the fuel source or check on your food without removing the entire lid or losing significant heat.
The 19-inch diameter grilling area provides enough space to cook up to 36 four-inch burgers at once. The vertical design also allows you to use the included meat hooks for hanging items like sausages or fish.
The heavy-gauge porcelain enamel is durable and resistant to rust, making it easy to clean. Simply allow the grill to cool completely before brushing off the grates and wiping down the exterior with a damp cloth.
