Overview
The Charbroil 14101550 is a freestanding infrared smoker built from alloy steel, standing about 36 inches tall on a 23 by 23 inch footprint. At 22.68 pounds it's a full-size outdoor unit rather than a tabletop accessory.
Infrared cooking heats through radiant energy rather than direct flame contact, an approach Charbroil has used across several vertical smoker and roaster designs to cut flare-ups. The tall, square-footprint shape here matches that vertical cooking chamber style rather than a horizontal offset smoker.

Who it's for
Outdoor cooks with patio or yard space for a 36-inch-tall unit who want infrared heat rather than charcoal or wood smoke. Apartment balconies or tight patios may struggle with the footprint.
Pros and cons
- Full-size 36 in tall cooking chamber
- Alloy steel construction
- Infrared heat reduces flare-ups
- Large 23 x 23 in footprint needs space
- Heavier than tabletop smokers at 22.68 lb
Performance notes
Infrared heating warms food through radiant energy from the heating element rather than direct flame contact, which tends to reduce flare-ups compared to open-flame charcoal cooking. The 22.68 pound alloy steel body adds stability against wind on an open patio.
